Ingredients
– 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 sprig fresh thyme
– 1 sprig fresh rosemary
– 1 ยฝ teaspoons onion powder
– 1 ยฝ teaspoons garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
– 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 4 cups corn cereal squares
– 2 cups oat cereal squares
– 2 cups wheat cereal squares
– 1 cup parmesan-flavored fish crackers
– 1 cup sesame sticks
– 1 cup pretzels
– 2 cups mixed nuts
Instructions
1-Getting started with Brown Butter Chex Mix: Begin by preheating your oven to 275ยฐF, which gives the mix time to crisp up nicely. This method ensures even cooking and that nutty flavor we all love shines through.
2-First, brown the butter in an 8-inch skillet along with the fresh thyme and rosemary over medium heat: Let it cook until the foaming slows and the butter turns a deep golden color with a nutty aroma, taking about 6-8 minutes, then remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the corn cereal squares, oat cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, parmesan-flavored fish crackers, sesame sticks, pretzels, and mixed nuts, stirring them together for an even mix.
3-Next, remove the thyme and rosemary from the butter and whisk in the onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and Worcestershire sauce: Gradually drizzle this butter mixture over the cereal mix, stirring well after each addition to coat everything evenly. Spread the mixture out on two parchment-lined baking sheets for baking.
4-Bake for 1 hour, remembering to stir and switch the racks every 15 minutes to promote even crispiness. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before serving or storing. This whole process takes just 15 minutes of prep and about 1 hour 10 minutes of cooking, for a total of 1 hour 25 minutes, making it a quick option for any day.
