Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free corn Chex cereal, gluten-free rice Chex cereal, gluten-free pretzel twists, gluten-free cheese crackers, roasted peanuts, and roasted cashews. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove-top over low heat.
  • Once melted, add the worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning blend, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until combined.
  • Pour the butter mixture over the chex mix and carefully stir until the cereal and crackers are completely covered.
  • Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake at 250F for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to make sure that the chex mix does not burn.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet, always be sure to double check that the ingredients that you are using are gluten-free. There are many products in this recipe that have gluten-full counterparts so you want to be sure you are using the correct products. 
  • If you are dairy-free, substitute the butter for a vegan butter of your choice and either omit the cheese crackers or use a gluten-free cracker that is also dairy-free. I like the Simple Mills Rosemary crackers. Double check that the gluten-free pretzels that you choose are dairy-free as well. If you are vegan, use a vegan worcestershire sauce or substitute with tamari instead.
