Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for a perfectly baked mix.
2
In a large, ungreased roasting pan, place butter or margarine and let it melt completely in the oven, about 5-10 minutes.
3
Once melted, carefully stir in Worcestershire sauce, Pickapeppa sauce (if using), seasoning salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
4
Add Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, mixed nuts, and pretzels to the pan. Gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the buttery seasoning mixture.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the mix bakes evenly.

After baking, spread the Chex mix on paper towels to cool for about 15 minutes. This helps to absorb any excess butter and achieve that perfect crunch.
