Ingredients

4 cups crisp corn cereal, such as Corn Chex
2 cups plain bagel chips
1 1/2 cups roasted and salted peanuts
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mustard powder

Rub the brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon mustard powder together with your fingers to make a fine powder. Transfer the toasted snack mix to a large bowl and toss with the mustard-brown sugar mixture. Let cool completely, and then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
