Chex Mix with a Cheerful Twist

First things first, feast your eyes on this tasty treat that’s about to become a staple at your snack table.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this crunchy masterpiece:

3 cups Chex cereal (any variety you like – rice, corn, or wheat)
2 cups Cheerios
1 cup pretzels (mini pretzels are the best to keep it crunchy)
1 cup mixed nuts (go nuts, literally!)
1 cup garlic powder
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
½ cup melted butter
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp smoked paprika (for that smoky kick)

Instructions

Okay, enough chit-chat! Let’s make this happen:

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). We want it to be warm and cozy, just like a good hug!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels, and mixed nuts. Toss them together like they’re auditioning for a snack mix musical!
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and smoked paprika. This is where the magic happens, so give it a good stir!
Pour the butter mixture over your cereal mixture and stir gently until everything is coated. It’s like giving your snack a nice spa day!
Spread the mixture out on a large baking sheet in an even layer. We want each piece to have its moment in the oven.
Bake in your preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, so it gets nice and toasty. Your kitchen will smell so good that you might have to shoo people away from the cookie buffet!
Once done, let it cool down before diving in. Trust us, no one wants burnt fingers!

And there you have it! Your very own Chex Mix with a cheerful twist. Perfect for movie nights, game days, or just when you’re feeling snacky. Enjoy!
