New Year's Treat to Please Dear One

 We have already talked about Chex Mix...a very favorite treat.  We got a box of Crispix which had a recipe for "People Chow" which I think I also showed you.  The same box had a recipe for Chex Mix but using Crispix and Cheez-its.  Since there were multiple little bags of Cheez-its left over from Halloween, Dear One decided this was the time for it!

Cheez-Its Chex Mix the way I made it...

6 cups Cheez-its
2 cups Cheerios
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
2 cups Wheat Chex
2 cups Rice Chex
2 cups Corn Chex
3 - 4 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (maybe more since Dear One saw me with the bottle and said to put in lots since that is what gives the flavor...so I did.)
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

In a large roaster pan I placed all the cereal, crackers, and nuts. In a 2-cup Pyrex measure I melted the butter in the microwave. It took about a minute.  After dumping all the flavorings in, I stirred well then drizzled on top of the crunchy stuff that I had previously mixed well.  With a long-handled wooden spoon I stirred and stirred and STIRRED until every morsel was covered with the "sauce".  

Next I placed it in the pre-heated oven...250 degrees F.  Roasted for 30 minutes then brought out and stirred well.  Back into the oven for another 30 minutes.  I will continue this process until the mix is sort of dry then will let cool until ready to eat...which might not be very cool, and not long at all, depending on if Dear One returns to the kitchen any time soon!
