Ingredients

• 5 cups Whole grain cereal squares (e.g., Chex)
• 2 cups Pretzel twists
• 2 cups Mini rice cakes
• 1 cup Unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
• 1 second spray Olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal squares, pretzel twists, mini rice cakes, and peanuts. Mix gently to distribute evenly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt (if using).

Step 4

Lightly spray the dry mix in the large bowl with olive oil spray, tossing as you go to ensure an even light coating. Repeat 1–2 times if necessary until the mix feels slightly tacky but not wet.

Step 5

Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the snack mix, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces.

Step 6

Spread the mix evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent burning.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Transfer the cooled party mix to an airtight container or serving bowl and enjoy!
