Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 1 cup Bagel chips (broken into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup Pretzel twists or sticks
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, bagel chips, pretzels, and mixed nuts. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt until well combined.
Slowly drizzle the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl while stirring to ensure even coverage. Keep stirring until everything is lightly and evenly coated.
Transfer the coated mix onto a large, rimmed baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer. If necessary, use two baking sheets to prevent overcrowding.
Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Once the mix is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet(s).
Once cooled, transfer the mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy Nanny’s classic Chex Party Mix with friends and family!
