If I only had some duck fat to render :-) There is a restaurant in LA's Koreatown that does duck fat French Fries that are divine.
Duck-Fat Chex® Mix
INGREDIENTS ½ cup (4 ounces) rendered duck fat, melted 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons smoked salt ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Pinch cayenne pepper 3 cups Corn Chex® 3 cups Rice Chex® 1½ cups Wheat Chex® 1 cup small pretzels 3 fresh thyme sprigs
Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 250°. In a medium bowl, add the melted duck fat, Worcestershire, smoked salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne and stir to combine.
2. To a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, add the Corn Chex®, Rice Chex®, Wheat Chex®, pretzels and thyme sprigs. Drizzle the duck fat-spice mixture over the top and use a rubber spatula to toss and coat the Chex® evenly. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until the Chex® mix is toasted and fragrant, about 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven and serve warm. (Cooled Chex® mix can be rewarmed in a 250° oven until warmed through, about 7 minutes

I think my older son would really like that, but like you -- no duck fat here. Is that something you can buy or do you have to cook the duck(s) and save it?

I have no idea whether you can buy it. I know you can buy schmaltz which is rendered chicken fat.
If you have a butcher you are friendly with, you might ask him if he has skin scraps to sell or give you.
Do you know how to render fat from poultry? My grandmother used to make it and it was delicious. It's essentially Jewish cracklins (which is rendered pig fat). The skin becomes crispy like a chip and is a real delicacy.

I saw duck fat in Whole Foods this week. Near the oils.
I love duck fat fries and roasted potatoes, but I don't think I'd use duck fat to make chex mix. I save my bacon fat, I think that would be a better match with the "low brow" chex mix ingredients. Save the duck fat for potatoes or other stuff.
