How to Make Aunt Caryn's Party Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, and nuts.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until butter is completely melted and ingredients are well combined.
  4. Pour butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir to coat evenly. Make sure all pieces are well-coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on large baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 70 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while still warm.
  8. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
