Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (rice, corn, or wheat)
- 2 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup Dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese crackers
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzel twists, dry-roasted peanuts, and cheddar cheese crackers. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or until fully melted. Alternatively, melt it on the stovetop over low heat.
Whisk the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper into the melted butter until fully combined.
Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the snack mix in the bowl, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated evenly.
Spread the snack mix in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will become crispier as it cools.
Store the cooled snack mix in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Serve and enjoy!
