Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
Helpful Tips For Cooking
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less chili powder depending on your preference.
- Use fresh herbs or spices to keep the flavors vibrant and aromatic.
Step 1
Warm your oven to 250°F (about 120°C). In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce until everything’s nicely combined. Sprinkle in the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and celery seed, giving it a good stir.
Step 2
Toss the corn cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, and pretzels together in a large oven-safe bowl or roasting pan. Pour the buttery sauce over the mix, and stir it around to make sure every piece gets coated.
Step 3
Pop the bowl into the oven and bake, stirring every 15 minutes to keep things evenly toasted and crunchy. This should take about an hour and 15 minutes. Once it’s done, turn the oven off but leave the snack mix inside with the door slightly open. Let it cool down for 45 to 60 minutes right there.
Step 4
When it’s completely cooled, transfer your spicy snack mix to airtight containers so it stays fresh and ready for your next get-together.
