Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 cups Chex cereal (a mix of Rice Chex and Corn Chex works best)
  • 1 cup pretzel twists
  • 1 cup bagel chips
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (pecans, almonds, or peanuts)
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a very large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, bagel chips, and nuts. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until the seasonings are fully incorporated into the butter.
  4. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal and snack mixture in the large bowl. Gently stir until all pieces are lightly coated. Work slowly to avoid crushing the cereal.
  5. Spread the coated snack mix in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the mix gently, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the Chex Party Mix cool completely on the baking sheets. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Store the finished snack mix in an airtight container.
