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.
