  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Stir the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder into the melted butter until combined.
  5. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal and nuts in the roasting pan.
  6. Stir gently but thoroughly until the cereal and nuts are evenly coated.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring well every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent sticking.

Tips

Feel free to add other mix-ins like pretzels or bagel chips along with the cereal and nuts. Stirring every 15 minutes is key to getting an evenly coated and crispy mix.
