Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on HIGH for 30-60 seconds, or until fully melted.
  2. Stir in the seasoned salt and Worcestershire sauce until well combined and smooth.
  3. Place the Chex cereals, mixed nuts, and pretzels into a large 2-gallon resealable plastic bag.
  4. Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the dry ingredients in the bag.
  5. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring no air escapes, and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Open the bag and pour the coated mixture into a large microwave-safe bowl, spreading it out in a single layer if possible.
  7. Microwave on HIGH for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to ensure even heating and prevent burning.
  8. Spread the hot mix onto a baking sheet lined with absorbent paper or newspaper to cool completely. Stir occasionally as it cools to prevent clumping.
