How to Make Addictive Chex Mix
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, and nuts.
- Pour the butter/sugar mixture over the cereal mixture and stir gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
- Spread the Chex mix in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving. The Chex mix will crisp up as it cools.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
