Ingredients
- 3 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 1 cup Mini breadsticks
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
- 1 cup Cheddar crackers
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzel twists, mini breadsticks, mixed nuts, and cheddar crackers. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Step 3
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30-45 seconds in the microwave). Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the snack mix 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 toasting.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the snack mix from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Store the cooled snack mix in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy it as a snack or share it with guests!
