Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, pretzel twists, and cheese crackers. Stir gently to mix.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until completely melted.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper to the melted butter. Stir until the seasoning is thoroughly combined.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the Chex mix in the large bowl, stirring constantly to coat all the pieces thoroughly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mix and stir gently until evenly distributed.
