Prep Time: 10 min

Cook & Cool time: 15 min

Smoke Time: 10 min

Yield: 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn Chex

  • 1 cup rice Chex

  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts

  • 1/2 cup pretzel sticks

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 1/2 tsp smoked salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

Directions

  1. In a large, mirowave safe bowl, combine the chex, nuts and pretzel sticks. Set aside.

  2. In a small, microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Then mix in the salt, garlic and onion powder.

  3. Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal mix and stir until everything is evenly coated in butter.

  4. Microwave the mixture on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir every 2 minutes.

  9. Transfer the smoked cereal to a non-smoked container for storage.
