Basic Chex Mix Method
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a large roasting pan or baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray.
  2. Combine Chex cereals, pretzels, nuts, and bagel chips in the prepared pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
