Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 1 cup honey roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup rye chips or bagel chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Base: In a very large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mini pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, and rye chips. Gently toss them together with your hands or a large spoon, being careful not to break the cereal pieces.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  4. Step 4: Toss and Coat: Pour the honey mustard glaze over the cereal mixture. Use a large rubber spatula to gently fold the mix until every piece is evenly coated. Take your time with this step to ensure no dry spots remain.
  5. Step 5: Slow Roasting: Spread the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Every 15 minutes, remove the tray and give the mix a good stir to ensure even drying and prevent any pieces from browning too much on the bottom.
  6. Step 6: Cooling and Setting: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. The mix may still feel slightly soft, but it will crisp up significantly as it cools. Allow it to cool completely on the pan before moving it to a storage container.
