4 cups Crispix Cereal ( (or 2 cups each: Corn Chex, Rice Chex))
2 cups Wheat Chex
2 cups mini pretzels
2 cups roasted salted cashews
2 cups Cheez-It Grooves original Cheddar ((may sub traditional Cheez-Its))
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp EACH garlic powder, garlic salt, dried basil
1/2 tsp EACH onion powder, dried parsley, dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips ((see my opinion in the post))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add all Party Mix ingredients to baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the Herb Butter Sauce ingredients then evenly pour over Party Mix. Toss until Party Mix is evenly coated. Spread mix out into an even layer.
  • Bake at 250 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Toss until evenly coated. Let Party Mix cool completely (cereal will crisp as it cools). Toss with butterscotch chips if desired (you can sample some mix with the butterscotch chips to see if you want to add them to the whole thing).
  • Store in an airtight container for up to three days then refrigerate if desired. (Parmesan does not have to be refrigerated immediately due to its low moisture content.)

Provided by April Woods

Categories     Appetizer     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 cups Chex cereal (corn)
2 cups Goldfish crackers (cheese flavor or original flavor)
2 cups mini pretzel twists
2 cups Cheez-its crackers (original flavor)
8 tablespoons butter (melted)
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons seasoned salt (we prefer Lawry's)
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (the kind found in the green plastic canister, usually near the spaghetti sauce)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the cereal, goldfish, pretzels and cheese crackers. In a small bowl whisk together mix melted butter, worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder and onion powder together.
  • Pour the butter seasoning mix over the cereal mixture and stir gently until evenly coated. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and stir to coat again.
  • Spread out the chex mix on your largest baking sheet or 2 smaller baking sheets. You want the cereal in as even a layer as you can but since we will be stirring frequently it will cook evenly.
  • Bake in a 250° F oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes until toasted and golden.
  • Allow the snack mix to cool on the baking sheet, then serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
