Ingredients:
- 3 cups Corn Chex™
- 3 cups Rice Chex™
- 3 cups Wheat Chex™
- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
- 1 cup rye chips
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 tsp seasoned salt
- 0.75 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 250°F (120°C). In a very large bowl, gently toss the 3 cups Corn Chex, 3 cups Rice Chex, 3 cups Wheat Chex, 1 cup pretzels, 1 cup peanuts, and 1 cup rye chips. Note: Mixing them first ensures the glaze doesn't hit just one type of cereal.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the 6 tbsp unsalted butter.
- Whisk the 2 tbsp Worcestershire, 1.5 tsp seasoned salt, 0.75 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, and 0.25 tsp smoked paprika into the butter until the spices are fully suspended.
- Pour the butter mixture over the cereal blend in three separate stages, tossing thoroughly after each addition. Note: This prevents the Rice Chex from soaking up all the liquid instantly.
- Transfer the mixture to your roasting pan, spreading it into an even layer.
- Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. You should hear a light sizzling sound each time you stir.
- The mix is done when it is deeply golden and feels dry to the touch.
- Spread the mix out on paper towels or a brown paper bag. Note: The paper absorbs any excess surface oil, leaving the mix perfectly crisp.
- Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. It will continue to crisp up as the sugars in the Worcestershire set.
