Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal mix (corn, rice, or wheat)
- 2 cups Pretzel twists or sticks
- 1 cup Mini salted crackers (such as goldfish or oyster)
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolate pieces (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup Roasted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), roasted and salted
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, mini crackers, roasted peanuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir gently to mix.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if using).
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula to toss everything together, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the tray. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, add the candy-coated chocolate pieces into the mix. Stir to distribute them evenly.
Transfer the Goblin Party Mix to a large serving bowl or divide into individual treat bags for serving. Enjoy!
