Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Chex cereal (corn, rice, or wheat)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 1 cup Cheese crackers
- 1 cup M&Ms candy
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, salted peanuts, and cheese crackers.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
Stir the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt into the melted butter.
Evenly pour the butter mixture over the snack mix in the bowl, stirring gently to coat everything well.
Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the snack mix in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Remove the snack mix from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, gently stir in the M&Ms candy for a pop of sweetness.
Store the snack mix in an airtight container for up to one week or enjoy immediately.
