Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (any combination of corn, rice, or wheat)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Honey roasted peanuts
- 6 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and honey roasted peanuts. Toss gently to mix well.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 15-20 second increments until fully melted. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the snack mix, tossing as you go to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the mix toasts evenly.
Remove from the oven and allow the snack mix to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the snack mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
