| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large turkey roaster with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. |
| 2 | Mix Dry Ingredients: In a lined copier paper box or a large mixing bowl, gently combine the corn Chex, rice Chex, wheat Chex, pretzels, peanuts, pecans, and mixed nuts. Be careful not to break the cereal pieces. |
| 3 | Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a separate bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and onion salt until well combined. |
| 4 | Coat with Seasoning: Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the copier paper box or mixing bowl. Gently toss the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the savory seasoning. |
| 5 | Bake: Transfer the coated mixture to the lined turkey roaster. Spread it out evenly to ensure even baking. Place the roaster in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. |
| 6 | Cool and Store: Once baked to golden perfection, remove the roaster from the oven and allow the Chex Party Mix to cool thoroughly. Once cooled, transfer it to airtight containers for storage. |
| 7 | Enjoy: Serve your delicious Chex Party Mix (Scramble) at gatherings, parties, or simply as a tasty snack any time of the year! Enjoy the crunchy goodness and savor the memories with every bite. |
