Ingredients:

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, such as Lawry’s
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups bagel chips
  • 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 1/2 cups Wheat Chex cereal
  • 3 cups bite-sized pretzels
  • 1 cup roasted, salted peanuts

Instruction:

  1. Heat the oven to 250°F. Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 250°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Make the seasoning mixture. Place 8 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted, 50 to 60 seconds total. (Alternatively, melt in a small saucepan on the stovetop over low heat.) Add 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder, and whisk well to combine.
  3. Combine the Chex mix. Place 2 cups bagel chips in a large bowl and lightly crush them with your hands into bite-sized pieces. Add 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex, 4 1/2 cups Wheat Chex, 3 cups pretzels, and 1 cup peanuts, and lightly toss to combine.
  4. Toss with butter. Pour half of the butter mixture over the Chex mixture and gently toss to coat. Pour in the remaining butter mixture and gently toss again so all the pieces are coated in butter.
  5. Bake until lightly brown and crispy. Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes total. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets before serving.

FAQ

Is it cheaper to buy Chex Mix or make your own?

Making your own Chex Mix is cheaper than buying bags of Chex Mix in the long run. When buying all the ingredients for the first time, it will be more expensive than just buying a bag or two of Chex Mix, but consider that a lot of the ingredients don’t have to be bought again when you want to make more.

What is the Chex Mix seasoning made of?

A combination of seasoning salt (we like Lawry’s), onion powder, and garlic powder give it a pop of flavor, while a generous amount of Worcestershire sauce lends a subtle savoriness that rounds it all out.

Can you make Chex Mix in a roaster?

Why is my homemade Chex Mix soggy? If you poured all of the seasoning on one section of the mixture, it may end up soggy. If it’s soggy, you can always put it back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes and hope it’ll dry it out a bit.
