Trin for trin

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 135°C (275°F) and have a large rimmed baking sheet ready.

   Ca. 5 min.

2. 2

   In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Melt in short 20-second bursts to avoid splattering.

3. 3

   Stir the taco seasoning into the melted butter until it's fully combined and forms a paste.

   Ca. 1 min.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn cereal, potato sticks, roasted peanuts, and canned fried onions.

   Ca. 1 min.

5. 5

   Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Use a spatula to scrape the small bowl clean to get all the flavorful seasoning.

6. 6

   Gently toss everything with a spatula until all the pieces are evenly coated.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Be gentle to avoid crushing the cereal and potato sticks.

7. 7

   Spread the mixture in a single, even layer on the baking sheet.

   Kokkens note: A single layer is key for even toasting and maximum crispiness.

8. 8

   Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the mix every 10 minutes.

   Ca. 30 min.

   Kokkens note: Stirring prevents the edges from burning and helps everything cook evenly.

9. 9

   Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the sheet.

   Ca. 20 min.

   Kokkens note: The mix will become much crispier as it cools.

10. 10

    Once cool, break up any large clusters with your hands before serving or storing.
