Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 1 cup Cheerios cereal
- 1.5 cups Cheddar crackers
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 2 cups Popcorn (popped, unsalted)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine pretzel twists, Cheerios, cheddar crackers, mixed nuts, and popcorn. Gently toss to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix, stirring gently with a spatula to ensure all pieces are lightly coated.
Spread the coated snack mix in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even toasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool to room temperature on the tray. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
Once fully cooled, transfer the snack mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy your revamped Snack Mix Makeover!
