A flavorful and crunchy snack mix perfect for gatherings or as a treat.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, seasoning salt, and hot sauce.
Melt the butter slightly for easier mixing.
In a large baking sheet, mix the corn chex, wheat chex, pretzels, and peanuts.
Spread the mix evenly for consistent seasoning.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry mix, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.
Bake the mix in the oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Stirring prevents burning and ensures even toasting.
Allow the mix to cool completely before serving or storing.
Cooling helps the mix achieve its final crunch.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Proper storage keeps the mix crunchy for days.
