Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 1 cup Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Bagel chips (broken into bite-sized pieces)
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
- 0.75 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, mixed nuts, mini pretzels, and bagel chips. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Slowly drizzle the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring as you pour to ensure an even coating.
Transfer the mix to a large, rimmed baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer.
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 to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
