Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzels
- 2 cups Chex cereal (any mix of corn, rice, or wheat)
- 1 cup mini pretzel sticks
- 1 cup peanuts (or any roasted nut of choice)
- 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chocolate candies (such as M&Ms)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzels, Chex cereal, mini pretzel sticks, and peanuts. Set aside the raisins or dried cranberries and chocolate candies for later.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until fully combined and simmering gently.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dry snack ingredients in the bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss and coat everything as evenly as possible.
Spread the coated mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, making sure to create a single layer for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the mix gets crispy and doesn’t burn.
Remove from the oven and let the mix cool completely before adding the raisins or dried cranberries and chocolate candies. Mix well.
Transfer the TV Mix to a large serving bowl, or store it in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
