I made this for my neighbors and a few friends I'd be seeing up to the week of Christmas. I looked at other people's recipes and additions and saw that most recommended upping the spices and butter. I kept mine basic this year but if I was making it for ourselves, I'd choose spicier add-ins like Sriracha almonds and jalapeno bagel bites, etc. What I used:
- 3 cups rice "Chex" cereal
- 3 cups "Crispix" cereal
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 2 cups mixed salted nuts (I added some pistachios into mine)
- 2 cups mini cheese bagel bites
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
I preheated the oven to 250°F and poured the first 5 ingredients into a enamel coated roasting pan. I stirred until well combined.
I melted the butter in a measuring cup in the microwave, then I added the remaining ingredients and whisked. I poured this over the cereal mixture and tried to combine it until each piece was coated.
This went in the oven for an hour. I set the timer for 15 minutes four times and stirred each time it went off.
I let it cool, then put into Christmas tins, using plastic wrap to try and make it air-tight.
UGH, this recipe only made enough for two tins and I needed six!!! So, rinse and repeat I guess. It tasted good - addictive once you start on it. Luckily I have time to make more before I see my other Christmas friends. If I make this again; reminder to self: buy smaller tins. 😉🎄❄
