Heat oven to 325°F.

In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, mix cereals, pretzel sticks and cashews. In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir in tarragon, onion powder and pepper sauce. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.

Bake uncovered about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Serve warm or cool. Store in airtight container.

Cover and refrigerate the cooled snack mix for up to a week. If you'd like, spread the snack mix in a pan and warm about 10 minutes in a 300°F oven.
Mixed nuts—in place of the cashews—adds even more variety to this medley of munchies!
