Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice cereal squares (e.g., Chex)
- 3 cups Corn cereal squares (e.g., Corn Chex)
- 2 cups Pretzels
- 2 cups Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Mixed nuts or peanuts
- 1 cup Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Seasoned salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice cereal squares, corn cereal squares, pretzels, cheese crackers, and nuts. Mix well to evenly distribute ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and paprika. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
Lightly spray the inside of a crock pot (slow cooker) with non-stick cooking spray.
Transfer the snack mix to the crock pot and spread it out evenly.
Set the crock pot to low heat. Cook the snack mix uncovered for approximately 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Once the snack mix is done and dry to the touch, spread it out onto a baking sheet or large sheet of parchment paper to cool completely.
Store the cooled snack mix in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags for up to one week.
