Ingredients

    • 3 cups toasted corn cereal, such as Chex
    • 1 1/2 cups bite-size pretzels
    • 1 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
    • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

  1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Combine toasted corn cereal, pretzels, and peanuts in a large bowl. Mince garlic and mash into a paste with salt. Stir together garlic paste, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Pour over cereal mixture; toss to coat using a rubber spatula.
