Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325. Toss together corn snack crackers, rice cereal squares, cheese crackers, pretzels, and almonds in a large bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Stir in chile powder, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Drizzle over snack mixture, and toss to coat. Spread mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven until lightly toasted, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking. Cool completely on baking sheet. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
