Chex Mix


Homemade chex mix is one of my all time favorite foods!  With all the sweets around at Christmas time, I crave salt!  I associate chex mix with the Holidays, but it can be a great snack year round.  It is just too addictive to have in my house all year - so it is reserved as a December snack.  I made this batch for a party with a gluten sensitive friend, so I omitted the wheat chex and pretzels.  I had a little left over chex mix after the party, so I ate it for breakfast one morning....It is cereal after all.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 1/2 cups corn chex
2 1/2 cup rice chex
1/2 cup mixed nuts - I usually mix almonds, pecans and cashews

Preheat oven to 250 and place the butter in a deep baking dish in the oven to melt.  Once the butter is melted, add Worcestershire sauce, Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and onion powder.  Stir all ingredients with a spoon then add the chex and mixed nuts and stir to combine all ingredients.  Bake 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.  The cook on paper towels on the counter and once cool store in an air tight container.
