This crowd-pleasing savory Chex mix combines tangy ranch seasoning with crunchy everything bagel seasoning for an irresistible snack. It’s quick to make, uses simple ingredients, and is perfect for parties, potlucks, or lazy Sunday snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Chex cereal (rice, corn, or a mix)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (roasted and salted)
  • 1 cup cheese crackers (like Goldfish or Cheez-Its)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper if using.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, mixed nuts, and cheese crackers. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, ranch seasoning mix, everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) until well combined.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding; use two sheets if needed.
  6. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  8. Once cool, break up any large clusters and transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Stir every 15 minutes to prevent burning. Let cool completely before storing to maintain crunch. The flavors deepen after 24 hours. For a spicier version, add extra cayenne or hot sauce. For a sweet and savory twist, add dried cranberries or chocolate after baking.
