Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
- 2 cups Pretzels
- 2 cups Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Pecans
- 6 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, cheese crackers, and pecans.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the snack mix in the large bowl. Gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet, ensuring an even layer for consistent cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
Remove from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the Cajun Party Mix to an airtight container or serving bowl. It's now ready to enjoy!
