Tasty Snack Mix

While looking up an old post for Snack Mix,

I discovered that something was awry with the pics.

Somehow the text beneath each photo

was somehow showing up as a

big blank teal box.

We can't have that now, can we??

Certainly not!!!

The reason I was looking up the

recipe for my snack mix?

I want to make some for my sweet friend

for her birthday.

Happy Birthday, Crafty Girlfriend!!!

I decided to post a "new" snack mix recipe.

Be forewarned, My Most Awesome Photographer

was at school when I made this,

so that explains the pics.

Melt one stick of butter (unsalted)

in a large pan in a 250°oven.

Did ya get all that??

Heat oven to 250°.  Put a stick a buttah

in a large pan.  Melt it.  ;)

Add 2T Worcestershire Sauce,

1 1/2 t Seasoned Salt,

3/4 t Garlic Powder & 1/2 t Onion Powder.

Stir until well mixed.

Add 1 C nuts.

You could use mixed nuts;

I like to use cashews or almonds.

Add 1 C Goldfish Crackers.

Or not.  Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

I'm unpredictable like that.

Add 1 C pretzels.

I've never used the pretzel chips before;

I usually use the checkerboard pretzels or

the small pretzel twists.

Whatever floats yer boat.

Add 3 C each of:

Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, & Rice Chex.

Bake in the 250° oven for one hour,

stirring thoroughly every 15 minutes.

Spread onto paper towels to cool.

At first the mix will be warm and soft,

but it will crisp up as it cools.

When it's completely cooled,

store it in an air tight container.

It usually disappears pretty quickly around

here, but I can truthfully say that

one time it was around for about a month,

and it was still fresh and delicious.

Happy Birthday, Crafty Girlfriend!!!

No two batches of my Snack Mix

ever look alike.  This was from my original

Snack Mix post long, long ago.

Sometimes CG and I have our pic taken together.

I have no recollection of wearing that dress.

I do know, however, that it is still hanging

in my closet in a dry cleaning bag.

What necklace is that?

I wonder if my memory will improve

when I go gluten and caffeine free?

I'll let ya know.

If I don't forget.

Sometimes CG and I have our pic taken

with our hubsters.

Which brings me to ...

who took the pic?

I dunno.

Peace and Snack Mix

Happy Birthday, Danielle!

Snack Mix (Revisited)

I am not a cook!

But, my kids like to eat, so I have a

(very) few simple recipes that I can make.

I noticed some trouble with
my original post not showing the entire
recipe - as I'm in the kitchen
making another batch!!!

So, I've been fiddling and fudging with
the original post for over an hour now ...
and I've finally decided to repost.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Melt one stick of unsalted butter in

a large pan in the oven.

Add 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire,

1 1/2 Teaspoons Seasoned Salt,

3/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder,

and 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder.

Stir together.

 Add 3 Cups EACH Rice, Corn, and Wheat Chex.

1 Cup Nuts (Cashews), and 1 Cup Pretzels.

Stir together well.

Heat in the oven for one hour;

stirring well every 15 minutes.

After one hour, spread snack mix

onto paper towels to cool.

Mix will be warm and soft at first,

but will crisp up as it cools.

Store in an air-tight container.

I've kept it for up to six weeks, and

it stays fresh and crisp.

The only reason it lasted that long

around here was because in a

mad cleaning spell I "hid" it

in the pantry ...

out of sight, out of mind, I guess!

This is a great recipe for gift giving -

I mix up several batches

every Christmas.

Enjoy!!!

- Peace Out -
