Servings: 24
Equipment
- rimmed baking tray
Ingredients
- 7 cups Chex cereal (corn, rice or wheat)
- 2 cups pretzels (I used 2 different cheese varieties)
- 2 cups cheese crackers ( I used Cheese Its)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup cocktail peanuts
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cheese powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl add cereal, pretzels, crackers, and peanuts.
- In a separate small bowl, melt the butter. Add the spices, cheese powder, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Stir well to combine all spices into the butter mixture.
- Slowly, pour butter mixture over the cereal while stirring to evenly coat the cereal with butter.
- Once the cereal mixture is coated, pour onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven to bake for 45 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes to insure all pieces brown and crisp evenly.
- When finished baking allow to cool before transfering to an airtight container. Chex mix will stay fresh for up to 2 week ( although it will not last that long).
