Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons celery salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon 15 mL) dry hot sauce powder or hot sauce (optional)
- 4 to 5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups (100 g) Shreddies
- 2 cups (50 g) Cheerios
- 2 cups (50 g) Crispix cereal
- 2 cups (100 g) pretzel twists or squares
- 1 cup (160 g) whole almonds
- 1 cup (150 g) unsalted peanuts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk in the celery salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, cinnamon, hot sauce powder (or hot sauce) if using, and Worcestershire.
- Combine the cereals, pretzels, peanuts, and almonds in a large mixing bowl and pour the spiced butter overtop. Toss well (using your hands is the quickest and most effective) and then spread this mixture on the baking tray.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cereal browns a little. Let the mix cool on the tray on a wire rack. Scoop into an airtight container. If gifting, pack the mix into a cookie tin or a tall mason jar, along with a label and ribbon.
Make Ahead Tip: You can store the baked cereal mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks (but GOOD LUCK staying away from it that long—put a lock on it!).
