Oven Baked Chex Party Mix
Nothing says a party quite like a handful of Chex Party Mix. This Oven Baked Chex Mix is the ultimate salty, crunchy snack you won't be able to stop eating.
Ingredients
- 3 cups corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups wheat Chex cereal
- 2 cups mini saltines
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 1/2 sticks butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
Heat oven to 250℉ and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In an extra large bowl add all the crunchy party mix ingredients. Gently toss with a large spoon.
- In a microwave safe bowl add butter and seasonings. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the butter is fully melted. Give the mixture a stir, then slowly pour over the party mix ingredients. If your super talented, toss the ingredients with a large spoon while you pour the butter mixture. You’ll want to continue to stir the mix for 2-3 minutes. This will ensure all the cereal, crackers, and nuts are coated well.
- Transfer the mix to the prepared sheet pan and smooth evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes. Let cool completely before transferring to a sealed container or large bag.
For extra toasty Chex mix:
- To get that extra toasty flavor, turn up the heat to 350℉ after the 1 hour and 15 minute baking time. Bake for 4-5 minutes (keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn) just until the top is a deep golden brown. Remove from the oven, toss, and allow to cool completely before storing.
