Savory Gluten-Free Chex Mix
Valentina P
An easy homemade Chex Mix recipe made with plenty of nuts, pretzels, and of course, Chex cereal. Just stir together with some olive oil and worcestershire, bake at low heat, and then toss with savory spices like onion powder, garlic, and little cayenne pepper. Compared to the 1950's original recipe, this variation is more like a nutty trail mix hybrid. Perfect for snacking.
