Because they asked . . .
(Preheat oven to 250)
1 – Family size (19.6 oz.) box of Honey Nut Chex
1 – 7.5 oz. bag of regular Bugle snack (or 10 oz.)
3 – 6 oz. bags of Caramel Sweet and Salty Bugle Snacks (or 10 oz homemade)
16 oz. Whales snacks – (Or any small cheese cracker of your choice)
1 box (7.5 or 8 oz.) Ritz Bits Sandwich crackers (peanut butter or cheese filled. I take these apart while they are still warm when I first dump finished product out to cool on the kitchen table).
8 oz. mini Pretzels (I like the very skinny sticks, but some of my family prefers the regular ones)
1 box (11 oz.) Club Miniatures
1 ½ lbs. pecans, large pieces
1 pound large Virginia peanuts
1 pound cashews (large pieces or halves)
3 cups (or 3 oz.) regular Cheerios
3.5 oz. Wheat Chex
3 oz. Corn Chex
3 oz. Rice Chex
Mix all together in a very large container.
Then mix together thoroughly:
⅓ cup Lawry’s Season Salt
2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder (I round these up a bit)
I sprinkle this over the container of mix a little at a time, tossing often to distribute evenly.
Mix the following, using a whisk:
3 ½ cups vegetable oil
⅓ cup Worcestershire Sauce.
When that is thoroughly mixed, pour it over the mix, tossing again after each cup or so until it is gone. The toss and toss and toss until the oil mixture is evenly distributed.
Take three of the large foil pans (like 21 x 13 x 3″) and divide the mix evenly between TWO of them, keeping an empty one in reserve. Preheat oven to 250, and space the racks so that you can get both roasters in at the same time. Put the two roasters into the preheated oven. Every 15 minutes, dump one of the roasters into the empty foil pan, and then dump the other into the one that you just emptied. Put the party mix that had been on the bottom rack onto the top rack, and the top one on the bottom. Bake for two hours, changing the pans every time, and every 15 minutes. After the two hours is up, empty onto a kitchen table that has been covered with paper. When totally cool, store in tight containers until ready to use. (Some of my relatives also store it in Ziploc freezer bags in the freezer.) If you have questions, please call. 302-382-0418, or 302-422-5952
