Ingredients

• 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
• 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
• 2 cups Mini pretzel twists
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese crackers
• 1 cup Mixed nuts (unsalted)
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Seasoned salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a large roasting pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with nonstick foil.

Step 2

In the roasting pan, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, mini pretzel twists, cheddar cheese crackers, and mixed nuts. Mix gently to distribute evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and smoked paprika. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the roasting pan, tossing gently to ensure an even coating. Be thorough but careful to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.

Step 5

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure everything toasts evenly and absorbs the seasoning.

Step 6

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the mix to cool completely in the pan, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

Step 7

When cool, transfer Shan's Happy Chex Mix to an airtight container or resealable bags for storage. Enjoy your homemade snack mix with friends, family, or all by yourself!
