Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 1 cup Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
- 0.75 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and mixed nuts. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30-40 seconds in the microwave).
Add Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the melted butter. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.
Slowly pour the seasoning mixture over the Chex mix, gently stirring to coat all pieces evenly.
Spread the seasoned mix evenly onto a large, rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Chex Mix to cool completely on the pan.
Once cooled, transfer the Chex Mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
