Ingredients

Scale

Seasoning Mix

  • 6 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Snack Mix

  • 3 cups Corn Squares (Chex)
  • 3 cups Rice Squares (Chex)
  • 1 cup pretzels
  • 1 cup bagel chips, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1 cup cashews

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for slow-roasting the snack mix.
  2. Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large roasting pan, add the Corn Squares, Rice Squares, pretzels, bagel chips, peanuts, and cashews, mixing them thoroughly to prepare for seasoning.
  4. Coat Mix: Pour the butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the dry ingredients in the roasting pan, then stir well to coat everything thoroughly and uniformly.
  5. Roast Snack Mix: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure the mix toasts evenly and develops a crispy texture.
  6. Cool and Store: After baking, let the Chex Mix cool completely in the pan before transferring it to an airtight container to maintain freshness and enjoy at leisure.

Notes

  • Stirring every 20 minutes is crucial to prevent burning and to promote even toasting.
  • Make sure the mix cools completely before storing to keep it crunchy.
  • You can customize the nut varieties or chips based on preference or availability.
  • Store the Chex Mix in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
  • Use a roasting pan large enough to comfortably hold and mix all ingredients without spilling.
