Ingredients

3 c. Chex corn cereal
3 c. Premium soup & oyster crackers
3 cups Cheez-It crackers
2 c. pretzels any shape
2 c. roasted cashews unsalted or lightly salted
6 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. kosher sea salt
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp. dried parsley
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
1/4 c. quality grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, set aside.
In an extra-large mixing bowl, combine the Chex, Premium crackers, Cheez-It crackers, pretzels, and cashews.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the butter. Place in the microwave and heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute on HIGH. Stir until completely melted.
Add the olive oil, Worcestershire (or balsamic), salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and cayenne (or red pepper flakes) to the melted butter. Whisk until combined. Pour over the dry ingredients and toss to evenly coat.
Pour onto the prepared baking sheet, spread evenly, and bake for 40 minutes, stirring at the 15 and 30 minute marks.
Remove from the oven and toss with Parmesan. Allow to cool completely before serving or storing.
