Ingredients

• 4 cups Chex cereal mix (corn, rice, or wheat)
• 2 cups Pretzel twists or sticks
• 1 cup Mini salted crackers (such as goldfish or oyster)
• 1 cup Candy-coated chocolate pieces (e.g., M&M's)
• 1 cup Roasted peanuts
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), roasted and salted
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, mini crackers, roasted peanuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir gently to mix.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if using).

Step 4

Pour the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula to toss everything together, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.

Step 5

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the tray from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the tray. The mix will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, add the candy-coated chocolate pieces into the mix. Stir to distribute them evenly.

Step 9

Transfer the Goblin Party Mix to a large serving bowl or divide into individual treat bags for serving. Enjoy!
