Ingredients

• 3 cups Corn checks cereal
• 3 cups Rice checks cereal
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 2 cups Cheese crackers
• 1 cup Mixed nuts (unsalted)
• 1 stick Butter
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn checks cereal, rice checks cereal, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and mixed nuts. Toss to combine.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the spicy seasoning blend.

Step 4

Pour the melted seasoning mixture over the dry mix in the large bowl. Gently toss with a spatula or large spoon until all the pieces are evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and crispness.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once fully cooled, transfer the party mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately at your party.
