That is, without a doubt, my favorite Cheddar mix piece, so I was bummed Chex instead opted to go with the generic, teeth-shattering rye chips.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, most people love that piece way more than I do, so I understand.<\/p>\n<p>They say you eat with your eyes first, so if I ended the review there, we\u2019d be looking at a 4 out of 10. Luckily, I fulfilled my oath and tasted it.<\/p>\n<p>Chex Mix, you\u2019ve done it again!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wcchexmix3.jpeg?resize=600%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"White Cheddar Chex Mix Mixed\" title=\"wcchexmix3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The White Cheddar flavor had way more complexity than I wanted to give it credit for. On any given bite, I felt like I was eating everything from gourmet popcorn to garlic bread.<\/p>\n<p>I bought a classic Cheddar Chex Mix bag, and while comparing, I noticed just how different regular cheddar and white cheddar really are. These had a more subtle flavor as if it was a light cheddar mixed with parmesan.<\/p>\n<p>On the first handful, I got hit with a Wise Buttered Popcorn nostalgia wave. I haven\u2019t ripped one of those yellow bags in ages, but that\u2019s exactly what it tasted like. Once the mild cheddar cheese took over, it reminded me of another classic bagged popcorn \u2013 Smartfood White Cheddar.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t shake that overall popcorn vibe and almost wish they included popcorn within the mix. It was like opening one of those tri-flavor Christmas tins and alternating bites between the cheese and the butter flavors.<\/p>\n<p>But it didn\u2019t stop there. The flavor kept slightly morphing as I crunched on, with some bites genuinely putting me in mind of a buttery garlic bread with a dash of cheese. I highly doubt these contain garlic powder, but the sample sent to me didn\u2019t have ingredients listed, so I can\u2019t confirm. Either way, I think I have an idea for a new Chex Mix flavor down the line.<\/p>\n<p>All of my assumptions were wrong here. This is not just a lazy reboot of the Cheddar flavor. It\u2019s a delicious new entry in Chex Mix\u2019s elite snack lineup. I\u2019d recommend grabbing a bag of Smartfood and creating a mega White Cheddar mix.<\/p>\n<p>I still like Cheddar slightly more, but these are coming in just a tick below. Feel free to release any color cheddar you want moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>(*2015-18, 2020. I won\u2019t forget about 2019, Alex G. of Denmark.
