Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking spray
4 cups pretzel sticks
3 cups oyster crackers
3 cups reduced-fat baked cheese snack crackers (such as Baked Cheese Nips)
5 cups square wheat cereal (such as Wheat Chex)
2 cups oat circle cereal (such as Cheerios)
3/4 cup walnut pieces
2 envelopes (0.5 ounce each) butter-flavored mix (such as Butter Buds)
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons corn oil
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a large roasting pan or two 9" x 13" pans with cooking spray. Place pretzels, oyster crackers, cheese crackers, square wheat cereal, oat circles, and walnut pieces in the pan(s). Set aside.

Place the remaining ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until combined. Pour over pretzel mixture and toss well to coat. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring gently every 10-15 minutes. Watch closely for the last 5-10 minutes to prevent burning. Pour out of the pans onto foil to cool.
