  1. Line large rimmed sheet pan with cooking parchment paper. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, pretzels, bagel chips, crackers, and popcorn; set aside.
  2. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 40 to 60 seconds or until melted. Stir in salt. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
  3. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on sheet pan; cool completely. Store in airtight container.
  4. To serve, place party mix in large bowl. Store in airtight container up to 1 week.

Tips

  1. We used butter snap pretzels for this mix, but mini twists and sticks are also great options.
  2. Want a little more flavor? Opt for seasoned salt instead of plain.
