Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 1.5 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 1.5 cups Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Mixed nuts (optional)
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Seasoned salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
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, pretzels, cheese crackers, and mixed nuts (if using). Set aside.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted.
Step 4
Stir the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) into the melted butter until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the cereal mix, gently stirring as you pour to ensure even coating. Take your time to avoid breaking the cereal.
Step 6
Transfer the coated mix to a large, rimmed baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer.
Step 7
Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the mix to cool completely. The mix will crisp up further as it cools.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the mix to an airtight container or serving bowl. Enjoy your homemade Party Treat Chex Mix!
