About the Recipe
Homemade Chex Mix is a delicious & easy snack!
Ingredients
3 cups Corn Chex™ cereal
3 cups Rice Chex™ cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex™ cereal
1 cup mini pretzels
1 cup bite-size cheese crackers or bagel chips
1 cup mixed nuts (optional)
Seasoned Butter Sauce:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1½ teaspoons seasoned salt
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet (or two if needed) with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Mix the dry ingredients - In a large bowl, combine cereals, pretzels, cheese crackers, and nuts (if using).
Make the seasoning - In a small bowl or measuring cup, melt the butter. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Coat the mix - Slowly pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Bake - Spread the mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet(s). Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Cool completely - Once done, let the Chex Mix cool on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp as it cools.
Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
Variations:
Spicy: Add ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the butter mix.
Sweet & Salty: Toss in M&M’s or chocolate chips after cooling.
