How to Make Savory Party Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 16 ounces pretzels (broken into smaller pieces), 8 ounces potato chips (crushed), 1 cup peanuts (roasted, unsalted), 1 cup croutons, and 1/2 cup finely chopped onion.
  3. Pour 1 cup melted margarine (or butter) evenly over the mixture, tossing to coat.
  4. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the mixture and toss to combine.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on an ungreased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch jelly roll pan.
  6. Bake for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
  7. Let cool completely before serving. The mix will crisp up as it cools.
