Prepare your slow cooker by lightly spraying the interior with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Cheerios, mini pretzels, and mixed nuts. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave (approximately 30-45 seconds). Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt to the melted butter. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl in small increments, stirring gently between additions to evenly coat the mix.
Transfer the coated mixture into the prepared slow cooker. Spread it out in an even layer.
Set the slow cooker to LOW heat. Cook the party mix uncovered for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
After 2 hours, check that the mix is crispy and fully coated with seasoning. If it needs more time, cook for an additional 15-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
Once done, spread the party mix onto baking sheets or parchment paper to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week, or serve immediately as a snack!
