Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups Corn Chex
3 cups Rice Chex
3 cups Wheat Chex
2 cups Cheez-It Crackers
2 cups pretzels mini
1 cup Cheerios
1 cup peanuts cocktail variety, salted
3/4 cup butter salted
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp seasoning salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 240 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cereals, pretzels, Cheez-its, peanuts. You could mix it directly in the dutch oven you are going to bake it in but I find it easier, and less spillage, to do it in a large mixing bowl and then put it into the dutch oven.
In a medium size bowl, melt butter and add in Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Stir to combine.
Mix the cereal/ cracker mixture.
Pour butter mixture over the top and stir to coat cereal mixture.
Add mixture to dutch oven or roasting pan.
Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Pour mixture out onto parchment paper and allow to cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

Microwave Version: Microwave the Chex mix on HIGH for 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Depending on the size of your microwave you may need to do this in batches. Make sure you are using a microwave safe bowl.

Variations:

- If you don't like wheat chex, leave them out and use more corn and or rice chex. You can customize the mix to your personal preference.

- Switch up the nuts. Instead of peanuts, use cashews or a mixture of nuts. The original chex party mix recipe called for mixed nuts.

- Instead of Cheez Its you can use a bagel chips, goldfish crackers or broken up melba toast.
