Homemade chex mix

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
If you do not have a roasting pan, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you have a large metal roasting pan, no need to line with parchment paper.
Mix all of your snack items – cereal, pretzels, rye chips, and bagel chips in a large bowl.
Combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and seasoned salt in a bowl until well combined.
Add butter mixture to the cereal mixture, a little bit at a time, stirring it in to evenly combine.
Pour coated cereal in large roasting pan or on the parchment lined baking sheet. Shake quickly to let cereal mixture settle into a layer.
Bake in oven for 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes. If mixture is still soggy after 1 hour, add 15 more minutes.
Remove from oven, remove from pan and cool on the piece of parchment paper. If using a roasting pan, lay out on pieces of paper towels or parchment paper to cool for 15 minutes.
Enjoy immediately or up to four weeks, stored in an airtight container.

when do you add NUTS, if preferred?

I sometimes like to add more spice & even textures using Asian rice cracker mix or chili crescent crackers/snack mix. FLAVOR BOMB!

For a heart health friendly version, use less Lowry's and add Everything Bagel seasoning. Adding nuts helps as well!

My family looks forward to Chex mix for the holidays. I usually make for Forth of July and birthday gatherings as well. We like to sit and snack while chatting and playing games.

My family enjoys this mix. Sometimes I add pumpkin seeds or pistachios for added flavor and texture.

This is how I make chex mix too! Sometimes I add deluxe mixed nuts and I like to use life cereal in mine too. It adds a bit of sweetness to the mix.

Great recipe! I would add peanuts or sesame sticks, just because I love both.
