Classic Chex Mix
Ingredients
  • 1 pound butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex™)
  • 4 cups crispy wheat cereal squares (such as Wheat Chex™)
  • 4 cups crispy corn cereal squares (such as Corn Chex™)
  • 4 cups toasted oat cereal (such as Cheerios™)
  • 1 pound mixed nuts
  • 1 (12 ounce) package thin pretzel sticks
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (or 120 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). This initial step is crucial to ensure that your oven reaches the optimal heat level for cooking.
2
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat while combining it with Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and celery salt. Stir occasionally until the butter has fully incorporated into a smooth mixture, taking approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine various cereals, nuts, and pretzel sticks. Once the butter mixture has reached the desired consistency, evenly pour it over the cereal mixture and gently stir until everything is well-coated.
4
Transfer the now-coated cereal mixture to a large roasting pan, taking care not to disturb its delicate balance.
5
Place the roasting pan in your preheated oven and bake until it reaches a golden hue, approximately 2 hours. During this time, gently stir the mixture every 15 minutes to prevent it from becoming unevenly cooked.
6
After completing the baking process, allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature. This step is essential in preventing any potential food safety issues, and it should take around 1 hour.
7
Finally, store the cooled mixture in airtight containers to maintain its freshness and prevent it from becoming stale over time.
