Description

A comforting mix of toasty almonds, roasted peanuts, salty pretzels, and a savory butter-sauce coating, making the perfect snack for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 cups mixed cereal (Crispix, Shreddies, O’s, or similar)
  • 1 cup unsalted peanuts
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cereal, peanuts, almonds, and pretzels. Toss gently to mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, tamari (or soy sauce), Worcestershire, optional sriracha, and maple syrup until smooth.
  4. Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper over the mix and toss lightly.
  5. Pour the butter-sauce evenly over the dry mix and gently fold and toss with a spatula to coat.
  6. Spread the coated mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes until fragrant and dry to the touch.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break apart any clusters with your hands.
  9. Taste and adjust salt or spice if needed.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or longer in the refrigerator. Avoid overmixing to keep cereal from breaking.
