Ingredients

• 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
• 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 4 cups Wheat Chex cereal
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 2 cups Cheese crackers
• 2 cups Honey roasted peanuts
• 1 cup Butter
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a very large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and honey roasted peanuts. Gently toss to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning sauce.

Step 4

Pour the seasoning sauce evenly over the dry mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss everything together, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.

Step 5

Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared baking sheets, spreading into a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Bake for 1 hour, stirring the mix every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the mix to cool completely at room temperature. The mix will become crispy as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the Texas Trash to an airtight container or resealable bags for storage. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
