How To Make Pioneer Woman Texas Trash

Mix the Dry Stuff:
Grab the biggest bowl you own. Dump in all the cereals, nuts, pretzels. It’ll look chaotic. That’s right.

Make the Butter Mix:
Melt the butter in a cup. Stir in Worcestershire, Tabasco, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Smells weird now but trust the process.

Coat & Stir:
Pour the liquid all over the cereal mix. Stir like mad so it all gets coated. Might need to use your hands near the end. Split it into 2 baking pans if needed.

Bake Low and Slow:
Oven goes at 200°F. Toss it in for 2 hours. Stir every 15 minutes. Don’t skip or you’ll end up with burnt bottom and dry top.

Cool & Store:
Let it sit and cool all the way. Then store in something airtight or it’ll go stale fast.

Recipe Tips

• Big bowl = less mess.
• Don’t skip stirring — seriously, every 15 mins.
• Add cayenne if you like a kick.
• Cool completely before storing. Moist = flop.

How to Store & Reheat

• Room Temperature: keep in an airtight container, cool & dry.
• Fridge: optional, but can last 1 week.
• Freezer: up to 1 month, but texture might suffer. re-crisp in oven if needed.
