How to Make Low Cal Chex Mix Snack

  1. Melt 1/4 cup Smart Balance buttery spread in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Heat gently, stirring until well combined and warm.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Chex cereal (any variety) and 2 cups pretzels (any variety).
  4. Gradually drizzle the melted butter mixture over the Chex and pretzels, tossing gently to coat evenly. Avoid over-coating; aim for light and even distribution.
  5. Pour the coated Chex mix onto a large baking sheet with sides.
  6. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even browning and crispness.
  7. Let the Chex mix cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container for storage. This allows it to crisp further.
