Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. In a large bowl, mix together the Chex cereal, cheddar cheese Bugles, and pretzel sticks. In a separate small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drizzle this butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the coated snack mix onto a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the mix appears dry and lightly golden. Allow it to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in the candy (such as candy corn, Reese’s Pieces, or candy eyes) and toss to combine.
