Everything Bagel Chex Mix
Description
This Chex Mix recipe layers corn, rice, and wheat Chex cereals with bite-sized pretzels, garlic-flavored bagel chips, and mixed nuts if desired. The seasoning blend includes melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and abundant everything bagel seasoning, lending the snack a savory, garlicky flavor reminiscent of an everything bagel.
Cooking the mixture briefly in the microwave, stirring frequently, allows the coating to stick evenly while crisping the components. Alternatively, a low oven bake for an hour with intermittent stirring achieves a similar effect. Cooling on a baking sheet ensures the mix remains crunchy once done.
