  • 1 (14 ounce) package crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex (R))
  • 1 (14 ounce) package bite-size wheat square cereal (such as Wheat Chex(R))
  • 1 (8.9 ounce) box toasted oat cereal rings (such as Cheerios(R))
  • 3 cups salted mixed nuts
  • 1 (15 ounce) package mini pretzel twists
  • 2 (6 ounce) packages goldfish crackers
  • 1 (12 ounce) package sesame snack sticks (optional)
  • 1 cup warm (liquid) bacon drippings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons monosodium glutamate (MSG)
  • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco(R))

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  2. 2
    Gently mix corn, rice, and wheat squares, oat rings, mixed nuts, mini pretzels, goldfish crackers, and sesame snacks in two 13x24-inch aluminum roasting pans, taking care not to break cereal.
  3. 3
    Stir bacon drippings, unsalted butter, Worcestershire sauce, MSG, liquid smoke, cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high in microwave for 3 or 4 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until mixture is warm, liquid, and fully combined.
  4. 4
    Stir seasoning sauce continuously as you pour half over the cereal mixture in each pan. Gently stir the snack mix and seasonings with a slotted spoon until thoroughly coated; do not crush cereal.
  5. 5
    Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is completely absorbed and the snack mix is crisp, about 2 hours; stir gently every 15 minutes. Cool completely and store in airtight containers. The snack mix stores well in freezer in airtight freezer bags, if it makes it that long.
