01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 250°F (120°C). While it’s warming up, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce until everything is well combined. Then add the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and celery seed, mixing it all together.

Step 2
In a large oven-safe bowl or roasting pan, toss the corn cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, and pretzels. Pour the butter sauce over the mix and stir it around a few times to make sure everything gets coated evenly.

Step 3
Pop the bowl into the oven and bake it, giving the mix a good stir every 15 minutes or so to keep it from sticking and to help it get nice and crunchy. This should take about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.

Step 4
When it’s done, turn off the oven but leave the snack mix inside with the door cracked open. Give it one last stir and let it cool down in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour. Once it’s cool, transfer the mix to airtight containers so it stays fresh and ready for your next celebration.
