Notes
Make it Gluten-Free:
- Swap extra rice or corn Chex for the wheat Chex and gluten-free pretzel sticks.
- Use gluten-free cheese crackers instead of sesame sticks.
- Check all your labels (including Worcestershire sauce and garlic salt) to make sure every ingredient is gluten-free!
Variations:
- Add chili powder or hot sauce with the butter and Worcestershire sauce for an extra kick (we love Valentina Mexican hot sauce, you can find it at Walmart)
- Use honey roasted peanuts and swap caramel popcorn for the sesame sticks for a sweet and salty mix
- Experiment with swapping out different ingredients, like using corn nuts instead of peanuts or Goldfish crackers instead of the sesame sticks.
