Best Chex Mix Recipe
Description
This version of Chex Mix layers multiple cereal types and salty snacks with a butter-based seasoning sauce featuring Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, and garlic powder. Combining dry ingredients first and mixing with the flavorful wet sauce ensures even coating. Spreading the mix on a lined baking sheet and baking at 250°F for an hour gently crisps everything, allowing the seasoning to absorb without burning or drying out the components.
The final mix has a balanced crunch with savory, umami, and mildly spiced notes. The array of cereals and pretzels offers textural variety, while the peanuts add nutty richness. Cooling on paper towels post-baking prevents sogginess from residual oil. Storing in airtight containers maintains freshness.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rice chex cereal
- 3 cups corn chex cereal
- 3 cups wheat chex cereal
- 2 cups Club crackers minis
- 2 cups pretzel sticks
- 1 cup Cheerios cereal

For the seasoning sauce:
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon seasoning salt (I use Lawry's or Johnny's seasoning salt)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl. In a small bowl.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the seasoning sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the dry ingredients while mixing. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated with seasoning.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat, and spread the mix evenly over the top.
- Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, then spread out over paper towels on the counter to cool.
- When completely cool, store in an airtight container, or ziplock bag.
