Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (corn, rice, or wheat)
- 3 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Cheese crackers
- 2 cups Salted mixed nuts
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereals, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and salted mixed nuts. Gently toss to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is fully melted, stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Pour the butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss the mix to coat all pieces thoroughly.
Spread the snack mix in an even layer onto a large baking sheet or two smaller baking sheets, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Remove the snack mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, transfer the Nuts and Bolts Snack Mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
