Parmesan Garlic Chex Mix image

Parmesan chex mix is a yummy and easy twist on the classic chex party mix recipe. Perfect for the holidays or your next get together!

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, unsalted butter, and chopped nuts will give your party mix the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the nuts: Roast the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Overcooked nuts will be tough and chewy.
  • Let the party mix cool completely before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the nuts to become crunchy.
  • Store the party mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks: You can also freeze the party mix for up to 3 months.
