Ingredients

• 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
• 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
• 1 cup Unsalted mini pretzels
• 1 cup Unsalted mixed nuts
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex cereals, unsalted mini pretzels, and unsalted mixed nuts.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until completely melted.

Step 4

Stir the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper into the melted butter until well blended.

Step 5

Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mix, gently stirring with a spatula to ensure that the butter mixture evenly coats all the pieces.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a large ungreased roasting pan or large baking sheet, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.

Step 8

Once thoroughly baked, remove the mixture from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan; this will ensure the mix reaches maximum crunchiness.

Step 9

Store cooled Chex Mix in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
