# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Makes enough to feed a hungry crowd without constant kitchen attention
  • That Worcestershire butter coating creates an addictive savory punch everyone reaches for first
  • Stays fresh for days so you can make it ahead of game day
02 -
  • The mix will feel slightly soft when it first comes out of the oven but crisps up beautifully as it cools completely
  • Stirring every 10 minutes is nonnegotiable because the smaller pieces can burn while larger chunks stay underdone
  • Using unsalted butter lets you control the exact salt level for perfectly balanced seasoning
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients coat more evenly than cold ones straight from the pantry
  • If any pieces look darker after baking, remove them immediately to prevent bitter burnt flavors from spreading
