Ingredients

Mix

3 cups rice or corn Chex cereal

1 cup pretzel sticks

1 cup mixed nuts (peanuts, cashews, almonds)

1 cup Goldfish crackers or cheese crackers

Seasoning Butter

3 tbsp butter, melted

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

1
Combine Chex, pretzels, nuts, and crackers in a large bowl.
2
Mix melted butter with Worcestershire and all seasonings. Pour over the snack mix and toss until evenly coated.
3
Air fry at 300°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking every 3-4 minutes for even toasting.
4
Spread on parchment to cool — it crisps up as it cools.
5
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

💡

Tip: Low temperature is key — high heat burns the cereal before the nuts toast. Shake frequently for even coating. The mix looks soft when warm but crisps up perfectly as it cools.
