Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheerios
- 2 cups Pretzel sticks
- 3 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 1 stick Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheerios, pretzel sticks, Chex cereal, and salted peanuts. Toss gently to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over low heat. Once fully melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until the seasoning is fully combined with the butter.
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the snack mix in the bowl, tossing as you pour to ensure even coating of the ingredients.
Spread the seasoned snack mix onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake 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. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the munchies to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
