Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1/4 cups Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 cups Tabasco Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex
  • 3 cups Rice Chex
  • 3 cups Corn Chex
  • 1 cup M & M's Candies
  • 1- 1/2 cup Spanish Peanuts
  • 1 bag Pretzels Of Your Favorite Size (8-10 Ounce Bag)

Method

  • Set oven to 250F.
  • Melt butter in a small sauce pan or in the microwave.
  • Add the liquids (Worcestershire and Tabasco) then the magical spicy powders.
  • Stir all of this wonderfulness together until flavors are fully blended.
  • Place the three Chex cereal amigos in a large foil pan (like the one you would do a large turkey in) and mix them well.
  • Drizzle the spicy butter mixture over the cereal and mix well.
  • You want to evenly distribute the flavor over the cereal.
  • Now pop the big foil pan of deliciousness into the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir every fifteen minutes for a total of an hour.
  • Then remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Once the mixture has had time to cool, add the M&Ms, peanuts, and pretzels and hide the stuff from your kids.
  • Keep in mind that the teaspoon recommendations for the various powdered spices are approximations.
  • Sometimes Ill add more than a teaspoon of one or less than a teaspoon of another.
  • I see Chex Mix as the ultimate mad scientist snack.
