Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups corn chex
  • 4 1/2 cups rice chex
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 cup small pretzels
  • 1 cup plain pita chips broken into small pieces
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned salt
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • Dash Tabasco hot pepper sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Add the cereal, nuts, pretzels, and pita chips to a large bowl.
  • Add the butter to a small sauce pan and heat until melted over medium heat.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, onion powder, and Tabascol.
  • Grate the garlic on a microplane grater into the butter mixture. Stir well.
  • Pour the butter mixture over the cereal, stirring as you pour. Stir well to coat everything.
  • Spread the mixture out on the baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring carefully every 15 minutes.
  • Store in a covered container for up to 1 week.

Notes

We like our Chex Mix to have a salty bite, so we're using 2 full tablespoons of seasoned salt. If that's too salty for you, reduce it down to 1 tablespoon and go from there.
I've recently found Gardetto's rye chips in the stores again and they make a great swap for the pita chips!
