Ingredients

Scale

Cereal Mix

  • 3 cups Corn Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex Cereal

Add-ins

  • 1 cup Assorted Nuts
  • 1 cup Mini Pretzels
  • 1 cup Bagel Chips

Seasoning Mix

  • 6 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Seasoned Salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large microwavable bowl, mix together the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, and Wheat Chex cereals along with the assorted nuts, mini pretzels, and bagel chips. Set this dry mixture aside.
  2. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a small microwavable bowl, melt the butter on high for about 40 seconds. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
  3. Coat the Mix: Pour the melted butter seasoning mixture evenly over the cereal and snack mix. Stir well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Microwave the coated snack mix uncovered on high for 5 to 6 minutes, stopping every 2 minutes to thoroughly stir the mixture. This ensures even cooking and coating.
  5. Cool and Store: After microwaving, spread the snack mix out on paper towels to cool completely. Once cooled, store the party mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Stirring every 2 minutes during microwaving is crucial to prevent burning and to coat the mix evenly.
  • You can substitute nuts or pretzels with your favorites or omit for allergies.
  • The mix can be stored for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mixture.
  • Ensure even cooling on paper towels to keep the mix crispy.
