- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Mixed nuts
- 0.75 cup Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine Cheerios, Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mini pretzels, and mixed nuts. Toss to combine and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Once the butter is melted, stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and paprika (if using) until fully combined.
Pour the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the cereal mix, stirring thoroughly to ensure all the pieces are well-coated.
Spread the mixture evenly across two large baking sheets.
Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Once done, remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the mix to cool completely to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled snack mix to an airtight container or resealable bags for storage. Serve and enjoy!
