Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 2 cups Cheddar crackers
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Franks RedHot Sauce
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex cereal, Rice Chex cereal, pretzel twists, and cheddar crackers. Toss gently to mix.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave in 20-30 second increments until fully melted.
Whisk the Franks RedHot Sauce, ranch seasoning mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery seed (if using) into the melted butter until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together with a rubber spatula or large spoon until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure it is in a single layer to ensure even baking.
Bake the mix in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Once baked, remove the Buffalo Chex Mix from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
Transfer the cooled mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy the bold Buffalo flavor!
