1 Line 2 large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 In a very large bowl, combine the Chex cereals, Cheerios, pretzels, and mixed nuts. Gently toss the mixture to evenly distribute the ingredients, taking care not to crush the cereal. If you have gloves, wear them.
3 In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat and add Worcestershire, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce. Whisk to combine, then let cool slightly. Pour the butter mixture all over the snack mix and use your hands to gently mix until all of the cereal is evenly coated.
4 Evenly distribute the snack mix between the prepared baking sheets and smooth it into an even layer. Bake the snack mix for 2 hours, rotating the pans between the two racks and stirring halfway through. It will be toasty and fragrant. Let cool completely on the sheet pans. Once cool and crisp, the snack mix can be stored in an airtight container for 1 week at room temperature. For longer storage, transfer to an airtight freezer-safe bag and store for up to 1 month.
