Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups bagel chips, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups Chex cereal, plain or multigrain
- 1 cup mini pretzels (twists or sticks)
- 1 cup mixed nuts (unsalted peanuts or almonds, optional)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- Everything Bagel Seasoning (homemade): 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp dried minced onion, 1 tsp poppy seeds, 1 tsp dried minced garlic, 1/2 tsp coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups broken bagel chips, 2 cups Chex cereal, 1 cup mini pretzels, and 1 cup mixed nuts if using. Stir gently to mix.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave in 15-second bursts until fully melted (about 30 seconds).
- Stir the everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper into the melted butter until well blended.
- Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the dry ingredients. Toss gently with a spatula or hands until everything is evenly coated.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the snack mix in an even layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even crispness. Watch for a golden color and fragrant aroma.
- Remove from oven and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up further.
- Transfer to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately in a large bowl.
Notes
Stir the mix halfway through baking to prevent burning and ensure even crispness. Toast sesame and poppy seeds lightly before mixing seasoning for enhanced flavor. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness; re-toast if softened. For gluten-free, substitute pretzels and bagel chips with gluten-free alternatives. For vegan, use plant-based butter or olive oil.
