How to Make Holiday Chex Mix
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (or a mix!).
Add 1 cup pretzels (any kind you like).
Add 1/2 cup mixed nuts (peanuts, cashews, almonds – your choice!).
In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup butter. Stir in 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.
Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal and pretzel mixture; toss to coat evenly.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool completely on a wire rack. Add 1 cup of mini marshmallows (optional) while still warm and slightly sticky.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
