Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheerios cereal
- 2 cups Shreddies cereal
- 2 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Seasoned salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheerios, Shreddies, Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and mixed nuts. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and paprika into the melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl, stirring as you go to ensure an even coating.
Spread the mixture evenly across two large baking sheets, ensuring it is in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and to ensure even toasting.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the mixture cool completely. The Bits N Bites will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Bits N Bites to an airtight container or serve immediately.
