Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (corn, rice, or wheat)
- 2 cups Cheerios cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel sticks
- 2 cups Mixed nuts
- 1 cup Butter
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzel sticks, and mixed nuts. Toss them together to ensure an even mix.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Step 4
Once the butter is completely melted, stir in Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix until the seasonings are fully dissolved and well combined.
Step 5
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring as you go to coat everything evenly.
Step 6
Divide the coated mixture onto two large baking sheets, spreading it out in an even layer to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure a uniform golden brown color.
Step 8
After baking, remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheets.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the snack mix into an airtight container or decorative tins if gifting. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
