Stir in 1/2 cup of brown sugar until melted and combined with the butter and sauce.

Add Dano Dash seasoning and a little bit of salt to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine 5 cups of Chex mix cereal, 3 cups of pretzels, and 1.5 cups of mixed nuts.

Pour half of the sauce mixture over the snack mix ingredients and stir to combine.

Pour the remaining sauce mixture over the snack mix and stir again.

Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.

Preheat the oven to 250°F and bake the snack mix for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
