Cook Time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 C each of Wheat Chex Rice Chex, and Corn Chex
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 3/4 C Broken up bagel chips
  • 3/4 C Rye chips
  • 1 handful of pretzels
  • 7 T butter
  • 2 1/2 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 3/4 t seasoned salt
  • 3/4 t garlic powder Honestly, I'm usually closer to 1 teaspoon
  • 1/2 t onion powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 250°F (121°C).
  • Melt butter: Place butter in a large roasting pan (the same one you will put your chex mix in) place in the oven, and let the butter melt while you combine dry ingredients.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Chex cereals, pretzels, nuts, bagel chips, and rye chips.
  • Make coating. In the roaster, once the butter is melted, add Worcestershire sauce, garlic + onion powder, and seasoned salt and whisk until well combined.
  • Bake: Spread the mixture into the roaster, stirring well being sure all the pieces are well coated. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Cool and serve: Let the Chex mix cool completely before serving I usually spread them all out on paper towels.
