This Chex party mix is the grandaddy of all party snack food. Watch this disappear at your holiday party!

This recipe, although slightly different, was posted on my Crazy for Crockpots group on Facebook by member and wonderful cook Linda Rozzano.
I haven’t made this in years, and I never used a slow cooker to do it.  Her recipe sounded delicious and I decided to make some of it so I had plenty for the upcoming holidays.

Warm, spicy and yummy
Since I’m not a big lover of worcestershire sauce–and Linda’s recipe had quite a bit (she used 8 tsp in hers), I decided I’d use slightly less than half of that and top up the rest with soy sauce.  The only deviation from her original recipe is my combo of soy sauce & worcestershire. So if you want the original, merely use the 8 tsp of worcestershire and omit the soy sauce.
The biggest crock pot I have is 5 quarts.  My amounts of cereal filled it practically to the brim, and that made it hard to stir.  I managed, but what I suggest with a 5 quart or smaller cooker, is either use less of the cereals, pretzels and nuts, or mix everything up in a large bowl, add the sauce, stirring to coat, then put it in the slow cooker and set it on warm.  That way it’ll be nice and warm for guests and it won’t cook or burn.

Wonderful flavor combinations!
The ingredients I used and the amounts are only a guide.  I love the taste of Wheat Chex and don’t much care for Corn Chex. So the dominating cereal is wheat in mine…use what you like! I used peanuts, but mixed nuts would be just as good. Another member, Emily Scott, makes this too and sometimes uses the smokehouse nuts–with adjustments in the seasonings.
This recipe is pretty basic, but you can make it your own with what you like.  Like anything 5-alarm?  Then add some of that hot sauce to the seasoning mixture!

Party Rice Balls

In a word, purely addictive.  The perfect snack for watching football or any time.
Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Course: Appetizers
Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: rice balls
Servings: 24 rice balls
Calories: 69kcal
Author: Judith Hannemann

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh minced parsley or 1/2 tbs dehydrated parsley
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Bring water and 1 tsp. of salt to boil and stir in rice. Reduce heat, cover and cook rice until all water is absorbed. Fluff rice and set aside until it is warm to the touch. You must work with WARM rice, not cold.
  • Mix the eggs, cheese and parsley in a small bowl. Add to the warm rice and stir well until all rice is coated with the egg mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, add the cup of breadcrumbs. Keeping your hands wet, roll rice mixture into balls the size of a golf ball. Coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the rice mixture is used.
  • Heat about 1-inch of oil in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Oil should be about 375 degrees OR when a cube of bread is dropped in the oil, it will brown in 1 minute.
  • Add rice balls to hot oil and brown on all sides. This may have to be done in stages--do NOT crowd the pan! Fry maybe 6-8 balls at a time so they have plenty of room to move around in the pan. When brown, remove to a plate covered with a paper towel to drain oil. These may be kept warm in a 200 degree oven until all the rice balls are cooked.
  • Makes about 24 rice balls. Serve with marinara sauce and extra cheese.
