Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) box Crispix cereal (12 cups)
  • 3 cups mixed nuts
  • 1 cup pistachios
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 7 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for baking the cereal mix evenly and slowly.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Crispix cereal, mixed nuts, pistachios, and mini pretzel twists, ensuring all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  3. Make Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, seasoned salt, and garlic salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors, then remove from heat.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the warm sauce over the cereal and nut mixture. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or spoon until all pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
  5. Spread on Baking Sheets: Evenly distribute the coated mixture onto two 13×9-inch rimmed baking sheets, spreading it out to allow for even baking.
  6. Bake and Stir: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake the mixture for 45 minutes, rotating the baking sheets and stirring the mix every 15 minutes to ensure uniform toasting and coating.
  7. Cool the Mix: Once baked, remove the trays from the oven and spread the cereal mix out onto paper towels or a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before serving or storing to maintain crispness.

Notes

  • Rotate and stir the mix every 15 minutes during baking to avoid burning and ensure even coating.
  • Use rimmed baking sheets to prevent spillage during stirring.
  • Store the cooled mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • For a different flavor profile, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the sauce.
  • Ensure lemon juice is fresh for the best tangy flavor contrast with the savory seasonings.
