Crunchy Nibble Mix

All snack-time favorites are combined in this crunchy snack mix. It’s great to

take along when heading out to watch a game or to share at a family picnic!

  • 3 cups toasted corn cereal squares
  • 2 cups popped popcorn
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 can (11.5 oz.) mixed nuts
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 2 cups sweetened dried cranberries

1. Place clean paper towels over large cooling rack; set aside. In large

2-1/2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine cereal, popcorn, pretzels

and nuts; set aside.

2. Place butter in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH,

30-60 seconds or until melted. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and

seasoning salt. Drizzle over cereal mixture; mix gently to coat.

3. Place cereal mixture in microwave. Microwave on HIGH, 4 minutes,

stirring after 2 minutes. Turn cereal mixture onto paper towels, spreading

evenly. Cool completely. Transfer cereal mixture to large serving bowl.

Stir in cranberries.

Makes about 9 cups.

Cookware Tip

Spreading cereal mixture over paper towels will help absorb moisture,

avoiding a soggy mix. Placing the paper towels over a cooling rack allows

for air circulation and faster cooling time. Store cooled cereal mix in large

airtight containers, or in resealable plastic storage bags.

Cookware Tip

Choose a wide-rimmed, microwave-safe bowl to prepare this mixture to

allow for easy stirring.
