A Savory Snack Mix Recipe is absolutely something you need for everything from road trips to after school snacks. This recipe comes in clutch for cocktail hour munchies and even goes in my kids’ lunchboxes for a crunchy addition.
My snack mix is wonderfully garlicky and buttery with the perfect amount of seasoning and crunch. I used cereals, pretzels, oyster crackers, and nuts for my base. The secret weapon is the multi-purpose Everything Bagel Seasoning and my all-purpose seasoning blend – the flavor these seasonings gives to the recipe is unbelievable. AND, it’s beyond easy to throw together!

The Snack Mix Technical Details
Time needed: 1 hour and 10 minutes
For the very best savory snack mix ever, simply:
- Make the snack mix sauce.
Melt butter over medium low heat. Whisk in the Worcestershire Sauce, Everything Bagel Seasoning, my all-purpose seasoning blend, and kosher salt.
- Measure the goods.
Measure and pour cereal, pretzels, oyster crackers, peanuts, and cashews and put into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix and Bake.
Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture and stir to coat all the ingredients. Pour coated ingredients onto a lined baking sheet (I used two). Bake for one hour at 250°, tossing every 15 minutes.
- Let it cool.
After one hour, remove savory snack mix from the oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container or zip top bag.
- Resist the temptation.
Try not to eat it all in one sitting.

The beauty of this snack mix recipe is that you can absolutely add and use almost any ingredient you want.

For the nuts we used peanuts and cashews because thats what my kids requested. Use whatever nut or seed combo you like. You can even leave them out completely if thats what you want!
recipe Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! As long as you find cereal, pretzel, and crackers that are certified gluten-free! The rice and corn Chex are gluten-free already, so feel free to use them if you like!
Here are a couple gluten-free ideas you could also incorporate:
Gluten-Free Pretzels
Gluten-Free Crackers
Almond Flour Crackers
I recommend storing it in resealable jars like deli containers or mason jars. Reusable zip top bags like Stasher bags are also wonderful options.
This snack mix, if stored properly, will be good for about a month. However, never in the history of ever has our mix lasted this long.
