Homemade Chex-Mix

Its official, most of my recipe inspirations come from what the husbands mood is… and he is constantly in a snacking mood! I can never keep snacks and sweets in my pantry for long as he will eat it all! It became much worse once the working from home started in 2020. That is why Homemade Chex-Mix is the perfect and easiest go to snack for my household. It keeps long and I can easily double the recipe for when guests are coming over! Making this perfect for the holidays too.

What you will need

I feel like the hint of sweetness mixed with all the saltiness is what makes this snack delicious. Besides the traditional Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and butter, here is everything else I added to give it that dash of sweet and salty.

Now lets make a snack!

Ingredients

4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Season Salt, such as Lawry’s
1/4 tsp Blackened Seasoning, such as Zatarain’s
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 Tbsp Agave (or honey)
1 C Bagel Crisps
2 1/4 C Wheat Chex
2 1/4 C Multi Grain Cheerios
1 1/2 C Mini Pretzels
1/2 C Roasted, Salted Peanuts

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small sauce pan, melt butter. Once melted, add Worcestershire, seasoned salt, blackened seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, agave (or honey) and whisk until well combined.
In a large bowl, mix your bagel crisps, wheat Chex, Cheerios, pretzels and peanuts.
Pour in half your sauce mixture, toss, pour remainder sauce and give it a final toss.
Spread over your prepared baking sheet and bake for a total of 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 weeks… if it can even last that long.
