(3) Add the crackers/cereal: Add the pretzels, cheese crackers, and Chex cereal, tossing well for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is evenly coated. Spread the mix evenly over a rimmed baking sheet.
(4) Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Toss 1-2 times throughout cooking. Once cooked, remove from the oven and stir the peanuts in, if using.
(5) Plate and serve: Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
