Using too much liquid. Don't go over the recipe's suggested liquid amounts; that is a sure way to get soggy mix (which, again, nobody wants). Follow this tip: If you need to make a change in liquid ingredients, just keep the amount the same.

General Mills now owns the Chex brand. They regularly produce 13 varieties, plus limited editions. Not long ago, the Peanut Lovers Chex Mix was discontinued.
