How to Make Mom's Chex Mix
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a large bowl, combine: 6 cups Chex cereal (Rice, Wheat, or a mix), 4 cups pretzels (sticks or twists), 2 cups chow mein noodles, 1 cup mixed nuts (pecans, cashews, almonds), and 1 cup dried fruit (such as raisins or cranberries).
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together: 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and toss gently to coat evenly. Make sure all the pieces are well combined.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on large baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even baking.
- Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even browning and to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. The Chex mix will crisp up as it cools.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts that long!).
