The Best Home Made Chex Mix

NOTE: These “recipes” inspirational notions — not fully-developed or detailed instructions. Take the following with a pinch of salt!

If you’re obsessed with snacky, savoury, crackery mixes like I am, you have to try this homemade Chex mix / Bits n Bites / nuts & bolts… whatever. It’s my latest problem and I’m loving every handful.

Plz imagine the possibilities beyond this awkwardly bad food photo.

Preheat oven to 250F

In a large bowl, layer the following in this order (from most to least absorbent):

1 cup (heaped) Shreddies

1 cup Corn Chex

1 cup Cheerios

1 cup Goldfish

1 cup pretzels (broken in half so they’re similar in size to other components)

Combine in a small measuring cup:

1/4 cup salted butter

3 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

1 TSP garlic powder

1 TSP Cajun seasoning

1 TSP siracha

1/2 TSP seasoning salt

1/2 TSP onion powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pour wet mixture evenly over cereal mixture. Gently toss with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated.

2. Spread mixture over a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Bake for 15 mins. Remove from oven, stir, and bake for another 15 mins. Repeat these steps again for a total of 45 mins in the oven.

   This low-and-slow method dries the mixture back out and gently toasts it to deepen all the flavours. Perfection!
