Ingredients

  • 1. A packet of cheese-infused crackers, weighing about 12.4 ounces, like the beloved Cheez-It® brand
  • 2. Two cups of petite pretzels
  • 3. Two cups of crunchy squares of rice cereal, akin to Rice Chex®
  • 4. One cup of delectable honey-roasted peanuts
  • 5. Approximately four tablespoons of vegetable oil, with the option to add more if desired
  • 6. Three tablespoons of zesty barbeque seasoning
  • 7. A dash of ground paprika, approximately one and a half teaspoons

Step 1

Get ready by preheating the oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, bring together an assortment of crackers, pretzels, crunchy cereal squares, and peanuts.

Step 3

Drizzle a bit of oil over the mix while gently tossing everything by hand until each piece glistens with a light coating. Add more oil if needed.

Step 4

For a tasty kick, mix up some barbecue seasoning and paprika in a separate small bowl. Sprinkle this flavorful blend over the cracker medley and toss gently to ensure even coverage.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned mix onto a baking sheet and pop it in the preheated oven. Let it bake for 15 to 20 minutes, remembering to give it a good stir halfway through for even crispiness.

Step 6

Once done, allow the crunchy goodness to cool completely before digging in or storing it for later snacking delights.
