Ingredients

• 4 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 2 cups Cheese crackers
• 1 cup Pepperoni slices (cut into quarters)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Pizza seasoning blend
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and pepperoni slices. Gently toss to distribute evenly.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30-40 seconds in the microwave, or until fully melted).

Step 4

Stir the parmesan cheese, pizza seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) into the melted butter until combined.

Step 5

Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the mixture thoroughly, ensuring every piece is coated.

Step 6

Spread the snack mix evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 7

Lightly spray the mix with olive oil cooking spray for extra crispness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 10

Once cool, transfer to an airtight container for storage. The mix will stay fresh for up to one week.
