Chex-Cheerios Snack Mix

Grandma starting making this at the holidays before I came along; after her funeral I found the recipe scribbled on the back of a receipt of a dress shop where she worked in the 50's. I save the large plastic pretzel containers to store this in. Yummy and very addicting!

1 large boxCheerios

3/4 large boxRice Chex

3 cupsthin pretzel sticks

1/2 can (12 oz)salted peanuts

3/4 cup (1.5 sticks)margarine

1 1/2 tspgarlic powder

1/2 tsponion salt

1/2 tspcelery salt

1 tbspWorcestershire sauce

Chex-Cheerios Snack Mix Preparation

Preheat oven to 250

In a large roasting pan (I get the disposable aluminum turkey roaster pans) stir together the Cheerios, Rice Chex, pretzels and peanuts; set aside. (I always use store-brand cereals, you can't tell the difference here)

Melt the margarine and stir in the garlic powder, onion salt, celery salt and Worcestershire sauce. Slowly pour this over the cereal mix, stirring to coat as much as possible. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake at 250 for 2 hours, 1st hour covered, 2nd hour uncovered. Stir every half hour. Allow to cool before storing. I usually make 2 pans at a time. Enjoy!
