Serves 8, (makes about 14 cups)

  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 3 cups cereal, such as Cheerios or shredded wheat

Directions

Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes

Preheat oven to 250°. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 Tbsp. water, Worcestershire, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and honey. In a large bowl, mix cereal, pretzels, popcorn, peanuts, and wasabi peas (if using), then pour spice blend over top and toss to coat.
