Share on TwitterI added Cheerios to this year's batch...ended up better than I expected. The kitchen smells of garlic and worchestershire as the last bacth is about ready to come out of the oven. This is an old school version and recipe...
My Granny made the classic Chex mix every year around this time, but always modified it to include my favorite ingredients. In her last years, she was determined that I learned how to make it just like her so that I wouldn't be without one of my favorite holiday treats when she was gone. She taught me well...this batch is almost gone thanks to kids and visitors...and me of course.
3 cups square rice cereal
3 cups square corn cereal
3 cups square wheat cereal (I sneak some extra wheat ones in because they are my favorite)
1 cup prestzels
2 cups mixed nuts
1 cup bagel chips (optional)
10 tablespoons butter (no tub stuff...only real butter)
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce (my fave flavor for this)
1 1/2 Tablespoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
-preheat oven to 250 degrees
-in one large or two medium casserole pans/dishes, melt butter
-combine seasonings & worchestershire in melted butter
-stir in cereal, nut, pretzles, etc...coat well with mix
-bake for one hour, remove and stir every 15 minutes
-cool/drain on paper towels
-store in air tight container
I'll sometimes add the spicy orange Chinese rice crescent shaped crunchy things that are yummy.
