Party Chex Mix

Source of Recipe

From "Fan Fare" by Debbie Moose


Recipe Introduction

"Sports fans have a hankering for sweet-salty snack mixes. You can dress up this basic formula as you like, trading in plain or flavored bagel chips for the crackers and pumpkin seeds for some of the nuts and adding a handful of dried cranberries or dried cherries for extra sweetness and a splash of hot pepper sauce for a touch of heat."

List of Ingredients

◦  ¼ cup unsalted butter
◦  1½ Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
◦  2 tsp sugar
◦  1 tsp seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
◦  ½ tsp onion powder
◦  ¼ tsp garlic powder
◦  4 cups (6 ounces) Chex cereal, in any combination of wheat, rice, and/or corn chex
◦  ½ cup (2½ ounces) mixed nuts
◦  ½ cup bite-sized pretzels
◦  ½ cup (2½ ounces) bite-sized Cheddar crackers, Cheddar cracker sticks, or Cheddar goldfish crackers


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 250° F.

Put the butter in a shallow baking dish and set in the oven until melted. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, and garlic powder until blended. Add the cereal, nuts, pretzels, and crackers and toss gently but thoroughly to coat with the seasoned butter.

Spread out the cereal mixture evenly in the dish and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool. Serve right away, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
