❤️ Why you’ll love this recipe

• Easy: This is a very easy recipe to make. There are just a few simple steps and then everything is mostly hands off in the oven.
• Flavor: This snack mix is extra bold and loaded with garlic flavor.
• Versatile: Swap some of the ingredients for your favorites. For instance, you can use all corn Chex instead of a mix of Chex or you can use all peanuts instead of mixed nuts.

🥣 Ingredients needed

For this recipe, you will need:

• Corn and rice cereal: Such as Chex.
• Pretzels: You’ll want to use bite sized pretzels or small pretzel sticks.
• Mixed nuts: I used unsalted but you can use salted if prefer a saltier Chex Mix.
• Butter: I used unsalted butter because this recipe calls for seasoned salt. I didn’t want the mix to be too salty.
• Seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder: The seasonings for the mix.
• Worcestershire sauce

Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

🧂 Variations

• Cereal: You can use any combination of corn, rice, or wheat Chex as long as there are 8 cups of cereal.
• Swap it out: You can swap or omit any of the snack mix ingredients as long as you sub something in its place.

⏲️ Recipe instructions (step by step guide)

Begin by combing your cereal, nuts, and pretzels in a large bowl (image 1). Gently mix together with a large spoon.

Next, melt your butter in the microwave or stove top then whisk in the seasonings (image 2).

Spread your cereal mix over a parchment paper lined or greased baking sheet then pour the butter mixture over it (image 3).

Bake for 1½ hours at 250°F. Stir every 15 to 20 minutes. Once done let cool and transfer to an airtight container.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

• Be sure to stir your Chex Mix while it bakes.
• Place your baking tray on the middle rack of your oven.

🥡 How to store leftovers

Store your leftover Chex Mix in an airtight container or plastic food storage bag (such as Ziplock). Leftovers will be good for up to five days after making.
