This is a great updated twist on the traditional ‘Nuts and Bolts’ cereal snack mix.

1 cup mini shredded wheat cereal squares
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  2. Combine cone-shaped corn snacks, cheese crackers, pretzels, corn cereal squares, mini shredded wheat squares, and pecan halves in a large bowl. Whisk butter, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a separate bowl. Pour butter mixture over snack mixture and toss lightly to coat.
