Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheerios cereal
- 2 cups Shreddies cereal
- 2 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Seasoned salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheerios, Shreddies, Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and mixed nuts. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Step 4
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and paprika into the melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl, stirring as you go to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
Spread the mixture evenly across two large baking sheets, ensuring it is in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and to ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the mixture cool completely. The Bits N Bites will crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the Bits N Bites to an airtight container or serve immediately.
