Melt butter in the microwave, then mix in Worcestershire sauce, Tony Chachere Seasoning, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Combine Corn Chex, goldfish or crackers, peanuts, and pecans in a large microwavable bowl.
Pour ⅓ of the melted butter mixture over the Chex mixture and stir well. Continue adding the butter mixture a little at a time and stirring well to coat all of the mix.
Microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring the Chex mix every 2 minutes.
Allow the Spicy Chex Mix to cool and taste test. Sprinkle more seasonings over the Chex Mix if it isn't seasoned enough for you!
Store in an air tight container.

Adjust the ratio of seasoned salt and Tony Chachere Creole seasoning to your taste.
Do not skip stirring the party mix while it is cooking. The Chex mixture tends to clump up and burn, and stirring helps break up the clumps or prevent them from forming.
If the mix tastes bland after it is cooked, add extra seasoning. Sprinkle any or all of the seasonings onto the mix until the taste is just right.
Variations: Use dry-roasted peanuts instead of cocktail peanuts, but do not add them until after the Chex has cooked for 2 minutes. The dry-roasted nuts tend to scorch if cooked too long. Add mixed nuts or no nuts at all, just add more Chex cereal and crackers to the mix. Other additions to consider: sesame sticks, pretzels, bagel chips, any kind of nuts, and oyster crackers.
