How To Make Homemade Everything Bagel Chex Mix

To whip up this Chex mix, start by mixing melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and Everything Bagel Seasoning together in a bowl. Next, preheat your oven and line a baking sheet —use two sheets if you prefer an even spread.

Toss Chex cereals, pretzels, and mixed nuts in a bowl, then pour the sauce over and give it a good stir. Spread it out on the baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to keep it from burning. Just watch it closely in the last 15 minutes until it's golden brown and perfectly crispy!

Ingredients

CHEX MIX:

• Chex cereal. I use a mix of corn, wheat + rice varieties.
• Prezels. I used mini salted pretzels + mini pretzel sticks to keep everything bite-sized!
• Mixed nuts. This can be purchased in a bag or you can mix/match your faves like cashews, pecans, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, etc.
• Butter. Unsalted + melted. To make this dairy-free opt for a vegan butter.
• Everything Bagel Seasoning. Use as much of as little as you like depending on how much flavor is desired. You can use store brought or try my homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning!
• Worcestershire sauce. My favorite is from Annies.

What Is Everything Bagel Seasoning?

The Everything Bagel Seasoning craze started at Trader Joe's. It's a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and a touch of salt—all the yummy stuff you find on everything bagels. But here's the fun part: it's not just for bagels anymore! People are putting it on everything from salads to sandwiches ---- and you guessed it EVEN Chex Mix! Once you try it, you'll see why it's become a kitchen must-have!

How To Make Your Own Homemade 'Everything Seasoning'

STEPS TO MAKE A HOMEMADE EVERYTHING BAGEL BLEND

When it comes to the everything bagel blend, it's all about the sesame seeds. If I'm not using a store-bought version, I definitely enjoy keeping it as original as possible with both white + black sesame seeds. However, you can use one or the other if you don't currently have both. This recipe makes ¼ cup, however, I love making a larger batch (by doubling or tripling the ingredients) and storing it in an airtight container for a longer period of time. Here are the ingredients that you need:

• 4 tsps white sesame seeds
• 2 tsps black sesame seeds
• 2 tsps poppy seeds
• 2 tsps garlic powder
• 2 tsps onion powder
• 1 tsp sea salt

Can I Make Homemade Everything Bagel Chex Mix Vegan?

Absolutely, you can make Homemade Everything Bagel Chex Mix vegan with just a few easy swaps! The Chex cereals are already vegan, so no worries there. Just grab some vegan-friendly pretzels and use dairy-free butter instead. It’s a simple way to enjoy this crunchy, addictive snack without missing out on the flavor!

Can I Customize The Flavors?

Definitely! If you’re craving something a bit different, try adding extra spices like chili powder, red pepper flakes, or smoked paprika for a fun kick. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese can take it to the next level.

If you like the combo of sweet + salty --- Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup for a sweet twist.

• 2 cups mini salted pretzels
• 1 cup mini pretzel sticks
• 1 cup mixed nuts (This can be purchased in a bag or you can mix/match your faves like cashews, pecans, walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, etc)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

PREP THE SAUCE MIXTURE:

• In a bowl or measuring cup, add the melted butter, Worcestershire, and Everything Bagel Seasoning, stirring everything together until combined. Set aside.

TO MAKE THE CHEX MIX:

• In a bowl, add the Chex cereals, pretzels, and mixed nuts, stirring everything together using a rubber spatula or your hands, avoiding breaking the Chex cereal too much. Pour the sauce mixture atop everything, stirring and working your way through all ingredients to ensure that everything is well coated.

BAKE THE CHEX MIX:

• Pour the coated cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading everything out evenly. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to avoid burning. Be sure to keep an eye on it within the last 15 minutes so that they don't burn. Remove once golden brown and crisp.
