Chex Mix

This is my mother’s recipe for Party Mix.  I believe it came from my grandmother.  It’s me & my brother’s favorite chex mix.  We start looking forward to it each Fall.

Chex Mix

recipe by Cindy Faulkner (my mom)

Ingredients

1 box Rice Chex cereal

1 box Corn Chex cereal

1 box Wheat Chex cereal

1 box Cheerios (optional)

1 bag Pretzel sticks

1 can (2 cups) mixed nuts or pecans (optional) 

1 lb butter

2 t garlic salt

2 t celery salt

4 T worchestershire sauce

3 – 4 T tabasco sauce

Red pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. 

In two large pans (preferably 12 x 18 cake pans), pour half of the cereals, pretzels and nuts into each pan.  Gently combine the mix. 

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on medium – low. Add the remaining spices.  Stir then pour half on each pan of mix.  Stir the mix gently to coat.

Place the pans in the preheated oven.  I usually place one pan on the top rack and the second pan on the next lower rack.  Bake for 15 minutes. 

Remove the pans, gently mix the party mix.  Place pans back in the oven on the opposite racks so that they are rotating oven position each time.  Bake another 15 minutes.  Repeat this process until the mix has baked 2 hours.

Cool and enjoy!
