Ingredients
- 3 cups plain or whole wheat Cheerios (95g)*
- 3 cups Quaker Corn Squares (138g)*
- 3 cups plain Shreddies (160g)*
- 3 cups pretzel sticks (120g)*
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 3 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce (see notes for an alternative)
- 1 1/2 tsp chili garlic sauce (or hot sauce and minced garlic to taste)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp cane sugar
*Ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Use two large bowls and divide each of the cereals and the pretzels between each (1 ½ cup of each ingredient in each bowl). Using two bowls will make it easier to stir in the seasoning.
- In a small saucepan, heat the vegan butter, worcestershire, chili garlic sauce, salt, paprika, and sugar until the butter is just melted. Remove the mixture from the heat and pour half of the mixture into the first bowl of party mix. Quickly stir to evenly coat all the party mix. Repeat by adding the other half of the butter mixture into the second bowl of party mix.
- Spread the party mix onto the two prepared baking sheets.
- Bake at 275 degrees F for 1 hour. Stirring and rotating the trays every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
- Allow the mix to cool and then store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Approximate Cost: CAD $8.24 for 585g (roughly $1.40/100g). We find the cost of this recipe to be pricier than purchasing a party mix from our wholesale store and slightly more cost effective than purchasing a party mix from our local grocery store. Our vegan butter costs us $1.60 for this recipe vs. ½ cup dairy butter costing us roughly $1.67.
Vegan worcestershire sauce can be a little harder to find and will likely be a little pricier than regular worcestershire sauce. You can replace the worcestershire with tamari or soy sauce but as there is more sodium in those replacements start with just 2 tbsp and you can likely remove the ½ tsp additional salt. Give your melted seasoning mixture a bit of a taste and add more tamari or soy sauce if you don’t find it too salty.
Feel free to add in nuts if you’d like, use cereals that you like best, and tweak the seasoning to suit your taste. You can add more chilli garlic sauce or hot sauce for a spicier mix or sub in maple syrup or more cane sugar for a sweeter mix.
