Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Pecan halves
- 1 cup Cashews
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, mini pretzels, pecan halves, and cashews. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the mixture with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring it forms an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
Remove from the oven and let the Chex Mix cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, transfer the Holiday Chex Mix to an airtight container or festive packaging for serving or gifting.
