Description

Bold and Buttery Homemade Chex Mix is a crunchy, flavorful snack blend of Corn, Wheat, and Rice Chex cereals, mini pretzels, rye bagel chips, and optional mixed nuts all coated in a rich butter and Worcestershire sauce seasoning. This savory mix is baked to golden perfection for an irresistibly crispy treat perfect for parties, game days, or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

Cereals and Snacks

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

Seasoning and Coating

  • 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: Set your oven to 250ºF to prepare for slow baking the snack mix.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Corn, Wheat, and Rice Chex cereals, mini pretzels, rye bagel chips, and optional mixed nuts to create your base.
  3. Melt Butter and Mix Seasonings: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce, Lawry’s seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
  4. Coat the Mix: Gradually pour the buttery seasoning mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring with your hands or a large spoon after each addition to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Spread on Baking Sheets: Distribute the coated mix evenly onto 2 large rimmed baking sheets in a single layer for uniform baking.
  6. Bake and Stir: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Rotate the trays from top to bottom each time you stir to ensure even cooking and crisping throughout.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the mix once golden brown and crisp. Let cool before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Oven temperatures may vary; remove the mix when it turns golden brown and crispy to prevent burning.
  • Rotate baking trays from top to bottom every 15 minutes during baking for even cooking.
  • Add the butter mixture gradually to evenly coat the cereal and snacks.
  • If using salted butter or garlic salt instead of regular butter and garlic powder, reduce the seasoned salt accordingly to avoid over-salting.
