Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups rice chex cereal
- 2 ¾ cups wheat chex cereal
- 2 ¾ cups corn chex cereal
- 1 ¾ cups mini twist pretzels
- ¾ cup unsalted peanuts

- ⅓ cup soy sauce

Instructions
- Combine the rice, wheat, and corn Chex cereals, pretzels, and unsalted peanuts in a slow cooker. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, soy sauce, BBQ sauce, garlic salt, and onion powder.
- Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 2-1/2 hours or until cereal has lightly browned. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to ensure nothing burns and to get an even color on the cereal.
- Once the mix is done cooking, pour the Chex mix onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and spread it out evenly.
- Allow it to cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- You can easily scale up this recipe to make a larger batch. Ensure you have a big enough slow cooker, or use multiple slow cookers if needed.
- Allow the Chex Mix to cool completely before storing. Place leftovers in an airtight container or a sealed bag to prevent the cereal and pretzels from becoming stale. Store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. For longer-term storage, you can freeze it for 4-6 months.
