Peanut Butter Cereal Snacks (Image Source: Molly Morgan)

This snack mix recipe is a family classic! Our grandma would always make this snack mix for family gatherings, vacations, and the holidays. My aunts and cousins continue to carry on the tradition of making this delicious snack mix for all family gatherings! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as our family does!

Switching It Up Tips:

Change up the cereals in the recipe to your preference! For example, traditionally Kellogg’s® Crispix® cereal was used although it has become hard to find at the grocery store, so instead, I have been replacing it with Wheat Chex™.
Switch up the butter for a plant-based alternative if you wish.
Mix-up the type of peanut butter you use. For example, this year, I used extra delicious Thai Spice peanut butter from Cheryl’s Nut Butter!
What I love about Cheryl’s Nut Butters is that they all have minimal ingredients and even the traditional peanut butter is absolutely delicious. Plus Cheryl’s has 30ish varieties of Peanut, Almond, Pistachio, Cashew, and Sunflower Butter - including everything from plain to sweet to savory.

Grandma B’s Cereal Snacks

Yield: 1 Pan (9” x 13”)

Ingredients:
3 cups mini pretzels (Tip: square or round pretzels work great!)
2 cups Cheerios™
2 cups Rice Chex™
2 cups Wheat Chex™
2 cups Kix®
1 cup dry roasted and salted peanuts
1/2 cup butter or butter substitute
8 oz creamy peanut butter (E.g. Cheryl’s Thai Spice Peanut Nut Butter)
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or liquid aminos)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a 9” x 13” pan add the pretzels, Cheerios™, Rice Chex™, Wheat Chex™, Kix®, and peanuts. Gently stir to combine.
In a medium saucepan combine the butter (or butter substitute), peanut butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring throughout. Continue until the butter is melted and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Pour the peanut butter sauce mixture over the cereal and gently stir to combine.
Bake for one hour. Throughout the baking time at about 20-minute intervals, gently stir the mixture to ensure the cereal mixture is evenly coated with the sauce mixture. Remove from the over, cool and store in air-tight containers.
