Ultimate Savory Chex Party Mix: A Budget-Friendly Crowd Pleaser in 35 Minutes

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Mix

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and Wheat Chex cereals.
Add the pretzels and mixed nuts to the bowl, giving everything a quick toss to evenly distribute.
Step 3: Make the Seasoning

In a separate small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Mix until fully combined.
Step 4: Coat the Mix

Pour the butter mixture over the cereal and pretzel mix.
Use a spatula or spoon to gently stir everything, making sure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 5: Bake the Party Mix

Spread the seasoned mix in an even layer on a large baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure the mix bakes evenly and doesn’t burn.
Step 6: Cool and Serve

Once the mix is crispy and golden, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
