Ingredients
Equipment
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.
