Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal mix (corn, rice, or wheat)
- 2 cups Pretzel twists or sticks
- 1 cup Mini salted crackers (such as goldfish or oyster)
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolate pieces (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup Roasted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), roasted and salted
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, mini crackers, roasted peanuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir gently to mix.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if using).
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula to toss everything together, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
Step 5
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Remove the tray from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the tray. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, add the candy-coated chocolate pieces into the mix. Stir to distribute them evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the Goblin Party Mix to a large serving bowl or divide into individual treat bags for serving. Enjoy!
