Best Snack Mix

My mom makes this every winter and it makes for the perfect snack. Most chex mixes have peanuts, pretzels, chex cereal, etc. However, this recipe has very few ingredients yet still has tons of flavor from the special seasoning.
Pour below cereal into a turkey roaster pan (deep pan).  Mix up with hands.
2 – 16 oz.. boxes of Wheat Chex Mix Cereal
1 – 12 oz. box of Rice Chex Mix Cereal
1 – 12 oz. box of Corn Chex Mix Cereal

TIP-IF THE GROCERY STORE IS OUT OF RICE CHEX MIX, YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE CRISPIX. HOWEVER, I STILL PREFER THE RICE CHEX MIX.

In a 4 cup pyrex measuring cup, microwave until almost all melted:

2 sticks butter or margarine (do not buy unsalted )
Add below spices to butter, carefully, as it could boil up due to salt increasing boiling point:
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
2 tsp. Onion Powder

Cover with paper towel and microwave until slightly boiling.  Stir and make sure salt and powders are blended well and not grainy.
Pour ½ butter mixture over chex mix.  Stir with a big spoon.  Add the rest of butter mixture and stir well. 
Bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours, stirring mixture every 30 minutes.  This drys out cereal and makes it crunchy.  Cool well.  Store in gallon freezer Ziplock bags.  Try to make bags airtight.  Then freeze extra bags for later use.

Tip:  If you bag the mix when it is still warm, and close the bag, it will steam it and become soggy so do not do this!!

Don't be fooled. This recipe does have a substantial amount of sodium in it. However, it still has less than the Chex Mix you buy at the grocery store! Pin It
