#### Chex Party Mix
**Ingredients:**
– 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
– 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
– 2 cups mini pretzels
– 2 cups mixed nuts
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, pretzels, and mixed nuts. Toss gently to mix everything together evenly.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well until the seasonings are fully incorporated.
4. Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the Chex cereal, pretzels, and nuts. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat everything thoroughly with the seasoned butter.
5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent burning.
7. Once the Chex Party Mix is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. The mix will continue to crisp up as it cools.
8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. The Chex Party Mix also makes a great homemade gift when packaged in festive bags or containers.
