Ingredients
- 3 cups corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups wheat Chex cereal
- 3 cups pretzels
- 1 cup bagel chips
- 1 cup rye chips
- 1 cups roasted salted peanuts
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2½ Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp seasoned salt such as Lawry’s
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat smoker to 225°F with indirect heat. (See note.)
- Add several chunks of hardwood – I recommend a lighter flavored wood like apple or pecan.
- Using a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients; stir until well combined. Transfer snack mix into a deep baking pan. (Tip: I used a deep, disposable aluminum pan – it worked great!)
- Using a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Pour half of the butter mixture over the snack mix; gently stir until well combined.
- Repeat with remaining butter mixture; gently stir until well combined.
- Place the pan on the smoker for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Remove Chex mix from smoker and let cool before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. (Tip: Spread the Chex Mix out on a large baking sheet to allow it to cool faster.)
Notes
Indirect cooking on a grill is the opposite of cooking over direct flame. Most ceramic grill/smokers have inserts for indirect grilling. If you have a gas grill, you can set it up for indirect grilling by turning the two outside burners on medium or medium-low. Then just leave the middle burner(s) off. This method is called “M-O-M,” or medium-off-medium. You will smoke the Chex mix over the middle (off) portion of the grill. For charcoal grills, simply pile equal amounts of charcoal on either side of the grill but leave the center portion without any charcoal. You will smoke the Chex mix over the middle (no charcoal) portion of the grill.
