Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn cereal squares (such as Corn Chex)
- 3 cups Rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex)
- 3 cups Wheat cereal squares (such as Wheat Chex)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Mixed nuts
- 1.5 cups Bagel chips (broken into bite-sized pieces)
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn cereal squares, rice cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, mini pretzels, mixed nuts, and bagel chips. Gently toss to evenly mix the ingredients.
Step 3
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 fully combined.
Step 4
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the cereal mix, a little at a time, and gently stir to coat the mixture evenly. Be careful not to crush the cereal as you mix.
Step 5
Divide the mixture between two large baking sheets, spreading it out into an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and crispness.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the party mix cool completely on the pans.
Step 8
Once cool, transfer the party mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
