Ingredients

  • 2 bagels (preferably pumpernickel), sliced into small, thin rounds
  • 3 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup broken grissini breadsticks
  • 1 cup broken pretzel sticks
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire
  • 1 tbsp Cholula or other hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350.

  2. Arrange the bagel rounds on a large rimmed baking sheet in one layer and bake until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer them to a large bowl and add the cereal, breadsticks and pretzel sticks. Leave the oven on.

  3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, garlic, and onion and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the garlic is just turning brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the butter into a bowl. Whisk in the Worcestershire, Cholula and black pepper.

  4. Add the butter mixture to the dry mix, toss to evenly coat, pour onto the baking sheet, and spread it out into one layer.

  5. Bake until crisp, about 25 minutes, stirring once midway through baking. Cool and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
