Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups Corn Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 2 cups mini salted pretzels
  • 1 cup Rye bagel chips
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (optional)

Wet Ingredients & Seasonings

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
  • ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Lawry’s seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250ºF to prepare for baking the mix at a low, steady temperature.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, Rice Chex, mini pretzels, rye bagel chips, and optional mixed nuts until evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce, Lawry’s seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Coat the Mixture: Gradually pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the cereal mixture. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix thoroughly after each addition, ensuring all cereal pieces are fully coated.
  5. Spread and Bake: Evenly spread the coated mixture onto two large rimmed baking sheets. Place them in the oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes and rotating the trays from top to bottom for even cooking and crisping.
  6. Finish and Cool: Once the mixture is golden brown and crisp, remove from the oven. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Ovens vary in temperature, so watch the mix carefully and remove when golden brown and crispy.
  • Rotate baking trays top to bottom every 15 minutes for even cooking.
  • Add the butter mixture gradually to ensure the cereal is evenly coated and not soggy.
  • If using salted butter or garlic salt, reduce or omit the seasoned salt to prevent over-salting.
