Brown Butter Herb Party Mix

PRINT the recipe: bit.ly/2W1pVuz
Nothing screams "Christmas season!" more than coming home from school and smelling party mix. When I was growing up, the distinct aroma of spices permeated the house, so you knew immediately when Mom had made a fresh batch. What a terrific after-school treat!

I still love that smell and get super excited making it. Nowadays, I can make it exactly the way I want. I keep all the nostalgic flavors, but update them. This party mix is a go-to for parties, gifts, or just an every-night treat!
⁠
INGREDIENTS⁠
⁠
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter⁠
- 1 sprig thyme⁠
- 1 sprig rosemary⁠
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder⁠
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder⁠
- 2 tsp seasoning salt⁠
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce⁠
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal⁠
- 2 cups Oat Square cereal⁠
- 2 cups Wheat Chex cereal⁠
- 1 cup Parmesan fish crackers⁠
- 1 cup sesame sticks⁠
- 1 cup pretzels⁠
- 2 cups mixed nuts⁠
⁠
INSTRUCTIONS⁠
⁠
Preheat oven to 275°F.⁠
⁠
To start, brown the butter. In an 8-inch skillet, melt the butter with the thyme and rosemary over medium heat. Once melted, continue to cook until the foaming slows down and the butter becomes a deep golden color and smells nutty, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.⁠
⁠
While the butter is cooling, in a large bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Oat Squares, Wheat Chex, Parmesan fish crackers, sesame sticks, pretzels, and mixed nuts. Stir to combine and set aside.⁠
⁠
Once the butter has cooled, remove the thyme and rosemary, and set aside. Add the onion and garlic powder, seasoning salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine.⁠
⁠
Drizzle a few tablespoons of prepared butter mixture over the party mix and stir well. Continue to drizzle and stir in small amounts to ensure the cereal mixture is evenly coated.⁠
⁠
Pour onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Spread out to an even layer and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes.⁠
⁠
Once baked, remove from the oven. Cool 20 minutes and serve or store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to one month.

Love Chex mix! It’s a classic. Add some holiday M&M’s when cooled. Yummy!

[@emmaharrison1399]

I pulled the packets of reese's pieces from the leftover halloween candy to try adding some a little at a time to our mix!

[@lilitincher4973]

I was thinking of making a savory party mix for gifts, and you appeared! I'm going to add something with chili for a kick.

[@sherilord1583]

I LOVE love love this recipe!! I make nuts and bolts every year and it never has enough flavor. I tried this recipe last year and WOW! It is now my go to recipe. I am currently on my 2nd batch in the holiday season because it never lasts long around here. And it is a recipe that everyone asks me for. Thank you so much ❤

[@judycee9263]

I made this with what I had on hand. Sadly I was out of pretzels and garlic powder because pandemic. Had a long day working and was too lazy to brown the butter. Maybe next time. It smells amazing!

[@marciahowe2887]

I'm so stoked you posted this recipe. Thankyou!! I think you've taken it up a notch. This is going in my recipe box for sure. Yum!!

[@genevafieldson4285]

Sounds amazing... can't wait to try it! Thank you! Merry Christmas!🥂

[@graphicallydeb9897]

This was always called Nutz and Boltz, because of the pretzel sticks and cheerios. 😊❤ I’m making mine this weekend.

[@jimjim2822]

BAM!!! Thank you… a definite will-do!!

You just make me feel like Christmas...

[@tracyturner2883]

Love it

[@jrt1776]

growning up east coast italian/ chex party mix was never a part of holiday but after watching you it seemed like perfect festive snack to serve with cocktails. Turned out delicious. I added about 1/4 cup of evoo to butter. I added chopped sprigs of rosemary and thyme but left rosemary on stalks mixed in for deco. I also added dry dill to the liquid glaze agree corn chex are good because after season and toast they have a popcorn taste. wheat chex are slightly sweet. I used mini oyster crackers. and pretzel square wafers Didnt use nuts only for some that have allergy but I would use cashew if I did... It was everyting you said ... Sweet tangy crunchy...Good hot or cold

[@mariesivad6513]

Im going to make to give as gifts for christmas

[@MArriola]

I enjoyed watching your video. I will try and make the party mix and share to them to some friends. Wish me luck - this will be my very first time to make. Thanks!

[@lmcd9608]

Love it. You say worcestershire like me🙄and definitely love to use onion and garlic powders and what a touch with the thyne. Thanks.

[@carlamendez6590]

I'm making this mix. My herbs are from my garden but dried.

[@doloresrohn4699]

Oat squares…funny. My favorite cereal, also! Those would be delicious in the party mix!

[@muffybf]

I make Chex mix thanksgiving and Christmas. I’m making yours this year

[@saulagarza]

Used Life Multigrain cereal. Very sturdy as well. All these recipes are legacy's that have been passed on to us. Carry on to the next generation.

[@halimaa.19]

I love your enthusiasm for everything! Makes me want to go in the kitchen and try this recipe. I have never made a party mix before but will definitely try this one. How would you store it?

[@DearReaderLaura]

Whoosh-ta-sher

[@marvinhamrick9305]

Do you have a cookbook published with all your heritage recipes!!??

[@jrt1776]

same here...oat squares I eat dry...They were made to eat dry

[@ReMaree83]

❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyhuston1939]

Budget friendly add in: toast in sour dough croutons.

[@mm-yt8sf]

wow when you pulled out the rosemary and thyme i guessed you must have browned the butter earlier and let it sit on the stove for a while, but when you added the worchestershire sauce and it boiled i was retroactively afraid for your fingers that were so close to the ultra hot butter! i was also surprised you moved the butter to the pan with your fingers. i don't like the feel of it so it's always with utensils. i guess the technical term would be i'm a wuss in the kitchen 😀

[@mruben8713]

Hi Kaleb! I love your recipes! Can I use CRISPIX instead of CHEX MIX? You substituted CRISPIX in your Glazed Party Mix because you said they kept the crisp better than Chex.

[@KH-nn6kh]

I heat up the mix for a bit (maybe 10 min) before adding the butter mixture.. I find easier for coverage

[@hummerklein4902]

Excellent idea thank you

[@lindsayholroyd7477]

Great recipe!.....in answer to your query..... 'Worcestershire Sauce' is pronouced 'Wuss' - 'ter', we dont pronounce the 'Shire' part & when we say 'Shire' you often cant here the 'ire' on the end. E.g. we say 'Wuss - ter - shur' or 'York - shur', 'Hampshire' is 'Hamp - shur' and so on, there is probably only a couple of words in this family/group that sound as they are spelt. There are lots of counties that end in 'shire' in the U.K. & it gets confusing😂 thanks to the funny language that is the Queens English!. 🙈👩‍🎓 Loving all your festive content🌲🎅 Love, Lindsay from Lancashire!🇬🇧

[@lindsayholroyd7477]

Thanks, my comment was not written to be rude, Caleb has queried how to pronounce it before in other videos as have other You tubers I follow, no big deal to me. My comment was in no way meant to be critical of him....just thought people who are not from the U.K. might be interested & I normally dont comment on such things. I am aware of the fact that many people who are not British, most likely European, American & from further afield pronounce lots of 'English' words/phrases differently and im fine with that. I dont know how to pronounce some places or e.g American/Hispanic surnames etc. I like to learn new, informative sometimes useless bits of information about people, places & culture....no harm being well travelled & read if possible.🙂

[@lilitincher4973]

Love the Worcestershire! LOL.(woos-te-share) with the silent snobby Brithis R if you want. :)

[@janicewoods3072]

My family calls Worcestershire sauce, What's-this-here sauce.

[@hummerklein4902]

Yes mine 2

[@jrt1776]

LOL....funny gazing good

[@kittmiller2212]

I use Crispix, Cheerios, and pretzels

[@emmaharrison1399]

Chef John sez "wash your sister sauce"!

[@cperm1]

That’s too funny! 😂😂😂 I can hear him saying that. 😂😂😂

[@janicedoucet2108]

We say "wash your sister sauce" lol

[@elaine5667]

Caleb, get granulated garlic and granulated onion. It doesn't do that.

[@fandangobizarro]

On the Worcestershire sauce pronunciation - I am from the UK and it is most completely acceptable to just go ahead and say "WOOSTER" sauce

[@kittmiller2212]

WOR STIR SHEER please get it right.

[@baconbap]

Basically Chex Mix with too many ingredients and too many steps.

[@sunshine49superman]

Get rid of the theatrics!!!
