- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Substitutions

How to Make Slow Cooker Chex Mix
STEP ONE:In a large slow cooker place the cereals, pretzels, bagel chips, bugles, and peanuts. Use two wooden spoons to gently mix together.
PRO TIP: Use a slow cooker that is 6 quarts or bigger. I recommend using an oval-shaped one as it will give you more cooking space.
STEP TWO:Place the melted butter in a small bowl and add the Worcestershire sauce and spices and stir together until mixed well.
STEP THREE:Pour some of the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and mix with the two spoons. Keep pouring the butter mixture over in small amounts and mixing until all the butter mixture is gone.
PRO TIP: Be sure to gently stir so that you dont break the cereal!
STEP FOUR:With the slow cooker on low cook for three hours. For the first two hours stir every 25-30 minutes. The last hour stir every 15-20 minutes to keep from burning.
PRO TIP: Place some paper towels under the lid while cooking to absorb any extra moisture. Wipe the moisture off the lid each time you stir.If you find there is too much condensation taking place, tilt the lid at an angle on the slow cooker so it is partially covering the top
STEP FIVE:Spread the cereal mixture in a single layer onto an ungreased baking sheet or parchment paper to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
I love making this easy snack recipe year-round its a holiday favorite but its also great in the summer when we want something crunchy and bold but dont want to turn on the oven and heat up the house.
You can store the snack mix in an airtight container for up to a week on the counter.
