Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1 cup bagel chips
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Combine Chex cereals, pretzels, bagel chips, and nuts in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in short intervals. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the seasoning mixture gradually over the dry ingredients, stirring to coat evenly.
  • Spread the coated mix onto a large, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange in a single layer.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to redistribute the mix.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to parchment paper. Let cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep fresh and crunchy.

Notes

For even better results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Roasted nuts or gourmet pretzels can add a delightful touch. Customize flavor with chili powder, thyme, or other seasonings. Store in smaller, resealable bags for longer freshness.
