Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Pecan halves
- 1 cup Cashews
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, mini pretzels, pecan halves, and cashews. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the mixture with a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring it forms an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the Chex Mix cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cool, transfer the Holiday Chex Mix to an airtight container or festive packaging for serving or gifting.
