Ingredients

2 cups Bugles corn snacks
2 cups cheese flavored snack crackers
2 cups pretzel sticks
2 cups corn Chex cereal
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a 15x10x1 pan with a baking mat or parchment paper.
Combine Bugles, cheese crackers, pretzel sticks, corn cereal and pecans in a large bowl.
2 cups Bugles corn snacks, 2 cups cheese flavored snack crackers, 2 cups pretzel sticks, 2 cups corn Chex cereal, 1 cup pecan halves
In a small bowl, combine butter, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. Pour over the cereal mixture & toss gently to coat.
1/2 cup butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Transfer mixture to the prepared sheet pan and spread evenly across the pan.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Remove mix to parchment paper or paper towels. Allow to cool completely.
Store the cooled snack mix in an airtight container.

Notes

When making a double batch, I recommend baking the mix on 2 pans so the mix crisps up.
This recipe makes about 9 cups of snack mix, with a serving size of 1/2 cup.
