Ingredients

  • 3 cup rice chex cereal
  • 3 cup wheat chex cereal
  • 3 cup corn chex cereal
  • 2 cup mini pretzels twists
  • 1 cup unsalted peanuts
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce favorite brand and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • In a large slow cooker, combine the cereal, pretzels and unsalted peanuts.
    3 cup rice chex cereal, 3 cup wheat chex cereal, 3 cup corn chex cereal, 2 cup mini pretzels, 1 cup unsalted peanuts
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika.
    8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ¼ cup BBQ sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Drizzle the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
  • Place the lid on the crockpot, turn to low and cook for 2 to 3 hours or until the cereal has lightly browned. Stir the chex mix every 30 minutes to ensure even coloring and to eliminate the possibility of anything burning.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the chex mix onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly.
  • Let it cool completely before serving, about 15 minutes.
