Corn Chex party mix can be enjoyed at any party or social gathering, but it's also a great anytime snack. The inferior prepackaged and mass-produced store-bought version is nothing compared to homemade. With a few ingredients and 30 minutes to spare, you can create a delicious Corn Chex party mix that guests will rave about.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place equal parts Corn Chex, pretzels and mixed nuts into the large freezer bag. Shake up the bag until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Spread the ingredients evenly across the bottom of the cake pan or baking sheet.
3. Place 1 cup of vegetable or olive oil in the large mixing bowl.
4. Add the salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
5. Mix thoroughly using the spoon to stir. Once the salt, garlic and cayenne pepper have been fully absorbed into the olive or vegetable oil, take a spoonful of the mix and drizzle it over the ingredients in the pan or on the baking sheet.
6. Place the cake pan or cooking sheet in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 30 minutes. Check frequently to make sure the pretzels and Corn Chex have not started to blacken.
7. Remove the cake pan or cooking sheet from the oven and let it stand. Be sure to let the mix cool long enough to let the oil dry somewhat.
8. Place contents in a serving bowl or permanently store them in another freezer bag, Tupperware bowl, or covered dish.
