Spicy Chex Mix has been announced by General Mills Convenience as a series of snack products perfect for consumers with a penchant for fiery fare to try out this spring or summer. The snack comes in two flavor options including Hot & Spicy and Spicy Dill, which are both crafted with a blend of Chex cereal, mini breadsticks, crackers and pretzels. The snacks each have their respective flavoring blasted over each piece and will satisfy snackers with their savory seasoning and extra-crunchy texture.
Spicy Chex Mix comes in 4.5-ounce bags with a suggested price point of $3.79 and will start hitting the convenience store channel starting in May. The snack responds to the ever-increasing demand for food products with spicy flavor and crunch to boot.
