Ingredients
Scale
Cereals and Snacks:
- 3 cups Corn Chex
- 3 cups Wheat Chex
- 3 cups Rice Chex
- 2 cups Pretzel Sticks
Nuts and Seasonings:
- 2 cups Mixed Nuts
- 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 3 to 5 cloves Garlic, mashed
Fats and Sauces:
- 1 to 1.5 sticks (113 to 170 grams) Butter
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 6 to 12 dashes of Tabasco Sauce
Instructions
- Gather and prepare the base ingredients by combining Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, Rice Chex, pretzel sticks, and mixed nuts in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring an even distribution of textures and flavors.
- Create the aromatic seasoning sauce by placing butter, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, minced garlic, seasoned salt, and onion powder into a microwave-safe container, heating until the butter completely liquefies.
- Thoroughly blend the liquid seasoning with the dry cereal mixture, using a large spatula or wooden spoon to guarantee every morsel is uniformly coated with the savory sauce.
- Distribute the seasoned mixture across one or two large baking sheets (30.5 centimeters x 45.7 centimeters), aiming for a single layer to promote consistent roasting.
- Position the baking sheets in a preheated oven at 121 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit), allowing the mixture to transform and crisp for approximately 75 minutes.
- Rotate and stir the mixture every 15 minutes during baking to prevent uneven browning and ensure each piece receives equal heat exposure.
- Remove from the oven and allow the snack mix to cool completely at room temperature, which helps the seasoning adhere and the texture to become perfectly crisp.
- Transfer the cooled party mix into an airtight container, where it can remain fresh and crunchy for several days, ready for spontaneous snacking or entertaining.
