8 tbsp (1 stick) Unsalted butter
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp Seasoned Salt (ex: Lawry's)
1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
3 cups Pretzel Sticks
1 1/2 cups Large Pecan Halves
2 1/2 cups Cajun Mix

Instructions:

  1. Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 250F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place butter in a medium, microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. 
  3. Add Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until well combined. 
  4. Place pretzel sticks, pecan halves, and Cajun mix in a large bowl. Lightly toss to combine.
  5. Pour half of the butter mixture over the snack mixture and gently toss to coat. Pour in the remaining butter mixture and toss again until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Divide the mixture between the prepared baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp, 45-50 minutes total. 
  7. Let the mix cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before serving. 
  8. Enjoy!
