Pop-Pop's Chex Mix

American Appetizer Recipes

2 c. wheat chex 2 c. corn chex 2 c. rice chex 2 c. cheerios 2 c. pretzel sticks 2 c. cheese nips 1 12oz. can mixed nuts 1 stick (8 Tbsp.) butter 3 scallions, chopped fine 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine 3 1/2 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp. salt

A trip to Grandma & Grandpa's wouldn't be complete without a batch of chocolate chip cookies and a big bowl of Pop-Pop's Chex mix. Measure out cereal (chex, cheerios), pretzel sticks (you want the skinny ones), cheese nips, and mixed nuts into a large bowl. (If your kids are like mine, you can measure out several batches and then throw it into gallon ziplock bags and freeze it for later chex-mix-age.) Put butter, onion, and garlic in a large roasting pan. Heat in the oven to 250°F. Once the butter has melted, add the worcestershire sauce and salt. Be sure to add this before the cereal: otherwise some pieces of cereal soak up all the worcestershire. Not so good. Then add the cereal-snack mixture to the pan. Toss to coat. Bake at 250°F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 min. Share and enjoy!
