Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pretzel twists
  • 2 cups cheese crackers
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup mini pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  2. In a large bowl, combine pretzel twists, cheese crackers, roasted peanuts, mini pretzel sticks, dried cranberries or raisins, and chocolate candies.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the snack mix, tossing gently until evenly coated.
  5. Spread mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to toast and coat evenly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Add cereal squares, sunflower seeds, or coconut flakes to mix it up.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week to keep it fresh and crunchy.
  • Chocolate candies may melt slightly if the mix is too warm — let it cool before adding them for extra crunch.
