How to Make Cajun Chex Mix
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce to the melted butter.
- Heat the mixture to just below boiling, stirring constantly.
- In a large roasting pan, combine 6 cups Chex cereal, 3 cups pretzels, 2 cups Cheerios, and 1 cup mixed nuts.
- Gradually pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. The Chex Mix will crisp up as it cools.
- Once cooled, store in airtight plastic bags or containers. This Chex Mix freezes well for up to 3 months.
