Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted roasted peanuts
  • 3 cups rice Chex
  • 2 cups gluten-free pretzel sticks
  • 3 cups vegan gluten-free cheese puffs
  • 12 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • pinch of ground cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon coconut sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine peanuts, rice Chex, and pretzels in a medium bowl. (Cheese puffs will be added at the very end.)
  • Melt butter in a glass measuring cup or small microwavable bowl. Add spices, nutritional yeast, and coconut sugar to the melted butter. Whisk to combine.
