Ingredients

Scale

Cereals and Nuts

  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 1 cup mixed nuts

Seasoning and Coating

  • 1/2 cup butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or vegan alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Halloween Sweet Additions

  • 1/2 cup Halloween candy pieces (such as candy corn or candy-coated chocolates)
  • 2 tablespoons colored sugar or Halloween-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all cereals, nuts, seasonings, butter/oil, Worcestershire sauce, and candy/sprinkles. Pre-measure the wet ingredients to streamline the process.
  2. Mix Butter and Seasonings: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then whisk in Worcestershire sauce and the seasoning mix (garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika) until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mixed nuts, and any additional crunchy extras like pretzels or cereal squares if desired.
  4. Coat and Bake: Pour the butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the dry ingredients. Stir carefully to coat thoroughly. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  5. Add Sweet Halloween Touches: Allow the mix to cool completely. Fold in Halloween candy pieces such as candy corn or coated chocolates. Sprinkle colored sugar or themed sprinkles over the mix to enhance the festive look.

Notes

  • Mix butter and seasoning well and add gradually for even coating.
  • Stir frequently during baking to avoid burning and maintain crispiness.
  • Use fresh, crisp cereals for the best texture and flavor.
  • Let the mix cool fully before adding candies to prevent melting.
  • Add pretzels, bagel chips, or other crunchy extras for a creative twist.
