Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 1 cup Mini breadsticks
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 1 cup Cheddar crackers
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzel twists, mini breadsticks, mixed nuts, and cheddar crackers. Stir gently to mix evenly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30-45 seconds in the microwave). Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk until fully combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the snack mix in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Once baked, remove the snack mix from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Store the cooled snack mix in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy it as a snack or share it with guests!
