- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Notes
- Chex cereal: I use a mix of rice, wheat, and corn Chex.
- Cheerios: I use plain Cheerios.
- Pretzels: Either pretzel sticks, pretzel wheels, or tiny pretzel twists work well.
- Peanuts: Mixed nuts also work well. Feel free to use salted or unsalted nuts depending on how much salt you'd like the cereal mix to have.
- Butter: I use salted butter, but feel free to use unsalted if you prefer.
- Cloth: It's important that the cloth is thin and that it just covers the opening. This will help to prevent condensation as the cereal mixture cooks. You don't want the cloth to sit down on the inside of the slow cooker near the heating element as that could start a fire.
