Let’s play a game. Tell me the first word that comes to mind when I say:
wedding . . . bride
baseball . . . hot dogs
Thanksgiving . . . turkey
party . . . Chex mix
Yeah, that’s right. A party wouldn’t be complete without Chex Mix . . . it seems to fill the quota for “salty snacks” at a party. And it pleases most everyone. Here is the traditional recipe from waaaay back.
6 T butter
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1½ t seasoned salt
¾ t garlic powder
½ t onion powder
3 c Corn Chex
3 c Rice Chex
3 c Wheat Chex (or more Rice Chex if you’re me)
1 c mixed nuts
1 c bite-size pretzels
Heat oven to 250°F. Melt butter in large roasting pan in oven. Stir in seasonings. Stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.
