Equipment

1 large baking sheet pan with parchment paper or two smaller pans

Ingredients

3 cups Corn Chex cereal
3 cups Rice Chex cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
1 cup bagel chips
1 cup mini pretzels
1 cup nuts
1 stick butter melted 8 tablespoons
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons seasoned salt like Lawry's

Instructions

Mix your dry ingredients (your different Chex cereals, bagel chips, pretzels, and nuts) in a large bowl.
Melt your butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl (cook on high for about 40 seconds or until melted).
Add your seasonings (Worcestershire, garlic powder, and seasoning salt) to your melted butter and stir.
Pour half your seasoned butter over top of your dry Chex Mix, stir thoroughly, and then pour in the remaining butter and stir again.
Spread your Chex Mix in an even layer on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (you may need more than one sheet depending on how large your sheet is).
Bake for 45 minutes at 250°F until just starting to brown and stir every 15 minutes so they bake evenly. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before eating and store in an airtight container.
