Ingredients
- 3 cups corn chex cereal

- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup pretzels
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&Ms
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure you have a large mixing bowl, baking sheet, and parchment paper ready.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine corn chex and rice chex cereals, creating a base for the party mix.
- Add peanuts and pretzels to the cereal mixture, gently stirring to distribute evenly.
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals until completely liquid.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder into the melted butter, whisking to create a seasoned butter mixture.
- Pour the seasoned melted butter over the cereal and nut mixture, carefully stirring to ensure all ingredients are coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for cooling and setting.
- Spread the buttered mixture evenly across the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the mix to cool at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes.
- Once slightly cooled, sprinkle chocolate chips and M&Ms over the mix, gently pressing them into the surface.
- Let the mix cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate sets.
- Break into clusters and serve in a large serving bowl.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your melted butter is warm but not scorching hot when mixing with cereals to prevent soggy ingredients.
- Even Coating is Key: Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss the mix, ensuring every piece gets an equal amount of seasoned butter.
- Chocolate Placement Trick: Add chocolate chips and M&Ms after the initial cooling to prevent melting and maintain their shape.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (if it lasts that long!).
- Customization Options: Feel free to swap nuts or add different chocolate types to make the recipe uniquely yours.
- Cooling Technique: Let the mix cool completely to allow the butter to set and create a crispy texture.
