American · Snack · 55 min total

A crunchy, savory-sweet snack mix that's perfect for parties, road trips, or anytime munchies. This easy recipe combines Cheerios with pretzels, nuts, and a buttery seasoning blend.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Cheerios cereal
• 2 cups pretzel twists, broken into pieces
• 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., peanuts, almonds, cashews)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine Cheerios, pretzel pieces, and mixed nuts.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), and salt.
4. Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the mix is dry and lightly toasted.
7. Let cool completely on the baking sheet (it will crisp as it cools).
8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

• For a sweeter version, replace Worcestershire sauce with 2 tablespoons maple syrup and reduce salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
• Add 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins after baking for a fruity twist.
• Double the recipe and bake in two batches for larger gatherings.
