Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 12 cups

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups corn Chex cereal
  • 3 cups wheat Chex cereal
  • 2 cups Bugles corn snacks
  • 2 cups mixed fancy nuts
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 cup Hot Honeys peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250°
  2. Place a large baking tray or cookie sheet with a rim in the oven with the butter, allow the butter to melt. It takes just a few minutes.
  3. While the butter is melting. Mix together the 3 Chex mixes, the bugles, and the mixed nuts in a large bowl.
  4. Take the hot pan out of the oven and add the Worcestershire sauce, soy, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and the Old bay Seasoning. Using a spatula mix it well and spread it out over the bottom of the pan.
  5. Mix in the cereal-nut mixture. Stir well to combine, making sure you don’t crush the cereal as you combine it. The key here is to coat the cereal as evenly as possible.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven at 250° for 1 hour. Stirring it every 15 minutes. The final Chex mix should be crisp, fragrant, and slightly toasted.
  7. Take out from the oven and stir in the hot honey peanuts. Allow to cool to room temperature.
