# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The low and slow baking technique creates this incredible crunch that lasts for days, not just hours
- You can customize the base ingredients with whatever is in your pantry, so it never gets boring
02 -
- Stirring every 15 minutes is not optional, I once skipped a stir and ended up with burnt pretzels and underdone cereal
- The mix needs to cool completely on the baking sheet or it will steam itself and lose that perfect crunch
03 -
- Measure the Worcestershire carefully, too much makes everything soggy
- If you want to double the recipe, use two baking sheets instead of crowding one
