- 1/2 cup garlic powder
- 2-4 cups of assorted cereals (such as Chex or Cheerios)
- 1/2 cup pretzels
- 1/4 cup salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250Β°F (120Β°C). This temperature ensures that all the ingredients are evenly baked without burning.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the assorted cereals, salted peanuts, pretzels, and raisins. Mix them well to evenly distribute each ingredient throughout the mix.
-
Prepare Butter Mixture: In a separate small bowl, blend together the butter, sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will add a savory and slightly tangy flavor to your party mix.
-
Coat with Butter Mixture: Pour the prepared butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss and coat the dry ingredients with the butter mixture. Ensure that all pieces are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
-
Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated mixture onto a large baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer. This allows for even baking and ensures that each piece gets crispy and flavorful.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. This step is crucial to prevent any burning and to ensure that all pieces are evenly baked to golden perfection.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the party mix is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving. Once cooled, transfer it to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
