Homemade Party Mix

(Great) Grandma Allen makes this at Christmas time and it is SO good- be careful, the recipe makes a lot, but you can also easily eat a lot! She calls it Christmas Chicken Feed. I call it delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

Sauce:

1 lb. butter

2 tsp. onion salt

2 tsp. celery salt

2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

2 tsp. garlic salt

2 tsp. kosher salt (or table salt)

2 tsp. tabasco sauce

2 tsp. hot sauce (like Crystal Hot Sauce)

Mix:

1 pkg. Kix

1 pkg. Cheerios

1 pkg. Wheat Chex

1 pkg. Rice or Corn Chex

1 pkg. pretzel sticks

1 lb. cashews (optional)

1 lb. peanuts (optional)

1 lb. walnut kernels (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Melt butter and add all seasonings. In a large bowl (or bucket!) stir together all of the dry ingredients (cereals and nuts). Mix in the melted butter sauce (keep stirring it to make sure nothing settles on the bottom) and stir throughly to ensure even coating. Put in a shallow pan or cookie sheet and bake at 275 degrees for 1/2 hour, stirring often. When partly cooled, put in a large tupperware or ziplock bags and seal- it will remain crisp.
