 I'm with you! I *hate* when people chew with their mouth open. Tell her straight with no meanness or irritation that she chews with her mouth open. Don't tell her right after she does it, but wait until a time when you're not eating.
Ask her to do it for you. If she forgets and does it again, which she will, don't look at her while she eats. Just say, gently and sincerely, "I know you're trying, but I just can't look"
She'll get the idea. She may initially get a little bent out of shape, but you are doing her a favor, because I'm sure you're not the only one who notices.

 Hey,
I used to do this...LOL and my boyfriend simply said to me....honey I love with all my heart and I would do anything for you...please do this for me....please chew with your mouth closed. I am afraid that if we go out and people see you...they will think less of you...and I know that you are priceless. To be honest, I felt a little bad...and like it was my dad....but in the end, it meant alot to me that he wanted me to better than I was...so I appreciated it..
Just be honest with her..and let her say if there is anything that you do that bothers her....make it an open forum
Good luck

 Some things there are no nice ways to say. Sugar coat it as much as you want but the outcome is usually the same.
If it were me, I'd ask her if she's aware she's doing it. "Hey babe, did you know that you're chewing with your mouth open?" Then crack a joke, "Maybe you ought to take smaller bites. hahaha" She'll be embarrassed, possibly a little angry, but that's also one of those things that will drive you more and more nuts the longer you let it go. If it's gotten bad enough that you have to ask for help about it online, you need to just say something.
