Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 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)

Wet Ingredients and Seasonings

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Lawry’s seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 250ºF (121ºC) to prepare for baking your Chex Mix.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, Rice Chex, mini pretzels, rye bagel chips, and mixed nuts if using. Ensure all are evenly distributed.
  3. Melt and mix butter sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter completely. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  4. Coat the mix: Gradually pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon after each addition until every piece is fully coated.
  5. Spread and bake: Lay the mixture out evenly onto two large rimmed baking sheets. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes and rotating the trays top to bottom to ensure even cooking.
  6. Finish and cool: Remove from the oven once the mixture turns golden brown and crisp. Allow the mix to cool before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Oven temperatures vary; remove the mix once golden brown and crispy rather than strictly by time.
  • Rotate trays every 15 minutes during baking for even cooking.
  • Add butter mixture gradually to ensure even coating of all cereal pieces.
  • If using salted butter or garlic salt, reduce the seasoned salt amount to prevent over-salting.
