Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex Cereal
  • 2 cups Pretzel Sticks
  • 1 cup Bagel Chips or Mini Bagel Chips
  • 1 cup Mixed Nuts (salted peanuts, cashews, almonds)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (1 stick)
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 3 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, pretzel sticks, bagel chips, and mixed nuts. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the ranch seasoning mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and 2 tablespoons of the everything bagel seasoning until smooth.
  4. Slowly drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Toss gently with a spatula or your hands until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even, single layer.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the mix is golden, dry, and fragrant.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning over the top and toss gently.
  8. Let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet, about 30-40 minutes, before serving or storing.

Notes

For best results, use fresh Chex cereal and stir every 15 minutes during baking. The mix will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pretzels and check that bagel chips and Worcestershire sauce are certified gluten-free.
