About this dish

Worcestershire sauce and garlic, not a sugar shell, season this mix: the butter dries into a thin savory film over cereal, nuts, pretzels and bagel chips.

The low oven is there to drive off moisture, so pieces straight from the pan feel softer than they will end up. Judge the crunch only once everything is cold, and hold off on the lid until then, because trapped steam undoes the drying. Unfrosted Chex-style cereal holds its shape through the mixing; thin flakes break apart and soak up the coating differently. The nuts and pretzels arrive already salted, so the seasoned salt is measured rather than shaken on.
