Ingredients
  

3 cups Chex cereal (Rice, Corn, or Wheat)

2 cups pretzel knots or sticks

1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews)

1 cup popcorn, popped (preferably buttered)

1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, mixed nuts, and popcorn.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt until well blended.

        Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.

          Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

            Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.

              Once the mix is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.
