Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360g) Goldfish crackers
  • 2 cups (60g) mini pretzels
  • 1 cup (140g) roasted almonds (salted or unsalted)
  • 1 cup (140g) roasted cashews
  • 1 cup (120g) cheddar cheese crackers (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) if toasting the mix (optional).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine Goldfish crackers, mini pretzels, roasted almonds, roasted cashews, and cheddar cheese crackers if using. Toss gently to mix evenly.
  3. Melt the butter in a small bowl or microwave-safe cup. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the melted butter and seasoning mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently toss with a spatula or spoon until evenly coated, taking care not to break the crackers.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread the coated snack mix in an even layer on the sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Watch carefully to avoid burning, especially the nuts.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up.
  8. Once cooled, transfer to a large bowl for serving or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

Toss gently to avoid breaking the Goldfish crackers. Toasting is optional but adds extra crunch and flavor. Adjust salt based on the saltiness of nuts and pretzels. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Reheat in a low oven to refresh crunch if needed.
