Ingredients
Scale
Snack Mix
- 6 cups crunchy corn squares cereal (such as Corn Chex™)
- 3 cups pretzel sticks
- 2 cups cheese balls
- 2 cups toasted oat cereal (such as Cheerios®)
- 2 cups baked cheese snack crackers (such as Cheez-it®)
Seasoning Blend
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons Pizzeria Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the snack mix evenly at a low temperature.
- Combine Cereal Mixtures: In a large roasting pan, combine the corn squares cereal, pretzel sticks, cheese balls, toasted oat cereal, and baked cheese snack crackers. Stir gently and set aside.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Pizzeria Seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce until well blended. Pour this mixture over the combined cereals and snacks, stirring thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
- Bake the Mix: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Stir the mixture every 15 minutes to ensure all pieces bake evenly and develop a crisp texture.
- Add Cheese: Remove the roasting pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the warm snack mix. Transfer the mix to a rimmed baking sheet to allow it to cool completely and crisp further before serving.
Notes
- Stirring every 15 minutes during baking ensures the snack mix cooks uniformly and stays crispy.
- You can store the cooled snack mix in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
- If you prefer a lower fat version, substitute butter with a light cooking oil or margarine.
