Bold Baked Gluten-Free Chex Mix
If you love your Chex Mix bold, buttery, and impossible to stop snacking on, this homemade gluten-free version brings all the classic nostalgia with an even bigger punch of flavor. With more butter than the original, a generous splash of Worcestershire, and storebought gluten-free ingredients, it's super flavorful and easy to make.
Yield: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Corn Chex
- 2 1/2 cups Rice Chex
- 2 1/2 cups gluten-free pretzels
- 2 cups coarsely broken gluten-free cheddar crackers
- 1 1/2 cups roasted, salted cocktail peanuts
Wet Mixture
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce (check to make sure the brand you're buying is GF)
- 1 tablespoon Lawry's seasonsing salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 dashes tabasco
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- To a very large bowl, add cereals, pretzels, crackers, and peanuts. Mix thoroughly.
- Whisk melted butter with all other wet ingredients to fully combine.
- Pour half of this mixture over the chex mix and use your hands to thoroughly mix and coat evenly. Then pour remaining half over the chex mix, and use hands to thoroughly mix and coat evenly.
- Spread evenly on a large half sheet pan so that it is in a mostly single layer. If you only have a quarter size sheet pan, you will need to use two of them.
- Bake chex mix for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring about 3 or so times while it is in the oven to help it dry out.
- Remove from oven and let fully cool on sheet pan, then transfer to an air-tight container. Enjoy!
