Ingredients

  • 6 Cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 2 Cups Cashews bits and pieces or whole cashews

Instructions

How to Make Mom's Roasted Chex Mix

  • Add the corn Chex cereal, rice Chex cereal, cashews, and mini pretzels to a large roaster pan.
    6 Cups Corn Chex Cereal, 6 Cups Rice Chex Cereal, 2 Cups Cashews, 2 Cups Mini Pretzels
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
    1 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
    4 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, 4 Teaspoons Celery Salt, 4 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Roast Low and Slow. Bake at 250°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Be sure to stir the mixture two or three times during baking. The first stir should happen within the first 15 minutes to help distribute the seasoning evenly.
  • Once the mix begins to turn lightly golden brown and crisp, remove it from the oven.
  • Allow the snack mix to cool completely before storing.
  • Transfer the cooled Chex mix to a gallon-size zip-top bag or large mason jars.

Notes

One serving is approximately ⅔ cup.

 Tips for Success

  • Stir gently so the cereal doesn't break into small pieces.
  • Don't skip the early stir during baking. It helps keep the seasoning evenly distributed throughout the batch.
  • Let the mixture cool completely before packaging to maintain maximum crunch.
  • Watch during the last 15 minutes of baking since ovens can vary.
