    The Original Chex Party Mix


    Source of Recipe


    Chex Cereal Box

    Recipe Introduction


    Homemade Chex Mix is so much better thant he new fangled pre-packaged kind! I basically go by the recipe below, but add a bit more garlic and worcestershire, to my taste.
    I, personally, have never tried the microwave method.

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup mixed nuts
    1 cup pretzels
    1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips or regular-size bagel chips,
    broken into 1-inch pieces
    3 cups Corn Chex cereal
    3 cups Rice Chex cereal
    3 cups Wheat Chex cereal
    6 tablespoons margarine or butter*
    2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    3/4 teaspoons garlic powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 250. Melt margarine in large roasting pan in oven. Stir in
    seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated.
    Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool.
    Store in airtight container. 12 cups snack.

    *Do not use spread or tub products

    Microwave Directions: Melt margarine in large microwavable bowl uncovered
    on High. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients
    until evenly coated. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes,
    thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool.
    Store in airtight container.

    Important: Because microwaves cook differently, time is approximate.
