Chex Mix

I love a good batch of chex mix! My mother-in-law gave me this recipe and it works great to create that savory flavor that I love. The recipe fills a large roasting pan so make sure you have a large pan for cooking and an appetite for snacking!  It's perfect for having around during the holidays or football parties.  You can be creative with the snack ingredients.  This has been my favorite combination. Regular cheerios or bagel chips are yummy too.  I like the multi-grain cheerios because they add a little sweetness to the mix. *Make this gluten-free by eliminating the wheat chex, pretzels and cheerios and using gluten free-pretzels or bagel chips instead. Also double check that your seasonings are all gluten-free.

Snack Ingredients

• 1 box corn chex
• 1/2 box rice chex
• 1 box wheat chex*
• 1 lb pretzels*
• 1 lb mixed nuts
• 4+ cups multi-grain cheerios*

Coating Ingredients

• scant 2 cups vegetable/canola oil
• 2 Tbsp worchestershire sauce
• 1 Tbsp seasoned salt
• 1 Tbsp garlic salt

Mix the snack ingredients in a large roasting pan.  In a liquid measure cup, combine worchestershire, seasoned salt, and garlic salt. Add enough oil to reach the 2 cup measure.  Whisk ingredients together until they are combined.  Pour over snack ingredients and mix gently until the snack mixture is evenly coated.  Bake at 250 degrees for 1-2 hours until golden and crispy, removing from oven every 30 minutes to stir.
