Ingredients

• 3 cups Goldfish crackers
• 2 cups Pretzel twists
• 2 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
• 1 cup Dry roasted peanuts
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the goldfish crackers, pretzel twists, Chex cereal, and dry roasted peanuts. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is fully combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the butter mixture over the snack mix in the large bowl. Toss gently with a spatula or spoon to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 5

Spread the coated snack mix in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the snack mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the 'Munching Goldfish and Friends' mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy!
