How to Make Barbecue Chex Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, oyster crackers, and peanuts.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the cereal mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure all the pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the Chex mix in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Chex mix is lightly browned and the flavors have melded. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This allows for crisping and prevents sticking.
  8. Once completely cool, store your delicious Barbecue Chex Mix in an airtight container. Enjoy!
