Over our long weekend (2 snow days + Saturday & Sunday), we did a family movie night at home.\u00c2\u00a0 The girl and I made homemade chex mix, the way my family used to do before the company\u00c2\u00a0started packaging it.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s so much better crisp and still warm out of the oven, redolent of the Worcestershire and a hint of garlic, IMO anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 The beauty of it being you can make it your own too.<\/p>\n
Chex Mix<\/p>\n
1 C. Butter
\n3 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
\n1\/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
\n2-4 Drops Hot Pepper Sauce
\n6 C. small Pretzels or Pretzel Sticks
\n4 C. Wheat Chex
\n4 C. Rice or Corn Chex
\n5 C. Cheerios (or Make a Trifecta of Chex)
\n3 C. Mixed Nuts<\/p>\nOn saucepan mix butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and pepper sauce. Heat and stir until butter is melted. In large roasting pan mix remaining ingredients. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss to coat. Bake in 300F oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on foil to cool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I left out the hot sauce; its not much, but my girl is very sensitive to spice.\u00c2\u00a0 I also used only cashews.\u00c2\u00a0 Two of us don’t like peanuts and I don’t like almonds, so mixed nuts were nixed.\u00c2\u00a0 I also did Corn, Wheat and Rice Chex, and no Cheerios, because I forgot to buy them.\u00c2\u00a0 But really, you could add a lot of different things to give it your own spin, bagel chips, goldfish, sesame sticks, what have you.\u00c2\u00a0 Just stick to about the same volume of the dry ingredients so the butter mixture can have the same coverage.<\/p>\n
