1 ½ cups wheat cereal squares

1 cup toasted oat cereal

1 cup small pretzels

1 cup bite-sized cheese crackers

½ cup unsalted sunflower seeds

1 ½ cups unsalted mixed nuts

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 ½ tablespoons honey

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

1 cup dried cherries

2 (1.5 ounce) packages 100% smoked beef sticks, cut into bite-sized pieces

Directions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Combine wheat cereal squares, oat cereal, pretzels, crackers, sunflower seeds, and nuts in a large bowl. Set aside.

Combine butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small saucepan and over medium-low heat. Mix until butter is melted and spices are blended in smoothly. Pour seasoned butter over dry mixture and stir until well combined. Spread out onto a large baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool completely.

Mix in dried cherries and smoked beef stick pieces.

Cook's Notes:

If you like it spicier, add 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce or another 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sauce mix.

You may use dried cranberries or raisins in place of dried cherries.
