Steph O's Spicy Chex Mix

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups Corn Chex™ cereal

• 3 cups Rice Chex™ cereal

• 2 cups Wheat Chex™ cereal

• 1 cup mixed nuts

• 2 cups bite-size pretzels

• 2 cups Cheez Its or Goldfish

• 1 stick

• 1 cup Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt or Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (spicy)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels and Cheez its; set aside. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High about 40 seconds or until melted. Stir in seasonings. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated. I pour my mixture back into an empty Worcestershire sauce bottle to ensure an even coating

2. In the Deluxe Air Fryer, fill your basket with about 1/3 of the whole mixture. Set to Air Fry for 4-6 minutes and turn on the Rotate feature.

3. Remove Chex Mix to a sheet pan to cool and continue to dry out.

4. Store in an airtight container

TIPS

• Substitution: The original recipe includes Corn Chex™, Rice Chex™ and Wheat Chex™. You can mix and match to suit your taste—just use a total of 9 cups of cereal.

• Healthy: To reduce the fat to 2 grams and the calories to 80 per serving, use 3 tablespoons margarine instead of the 6 tablespoons butter, omit mixed nuts and use fat-free bagel chips.

• Presentation/Garnish: Make enough of this favorite mix to package up as gifts for special friends—it’s so good and always a welcome surprise!

• Pre-heat oven to 250°. Put cereal and seasoning mixture into ungreased roasting pan and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes.

• Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.
