Chex-Cheerios Snack Mix

Grandma starting making this at the holidays before I came along; after her funeral I found the recipe scribbled on the back of a receipt of a dress shop where she worked in the 50's. I save the large plastic pretzel containers to store this in. Yummy and very addicting!

Ingredients

1 large box Cheerios

3/4 large box Rice Chex

3 cups thin pretzel sticks

1/2 can (12 oz) salted peanuts

3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) margarine

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion salt

1/2 tsp celery salt

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce


Directions

Preheat oven to 250 In a large roasting pan (I get the disposable aluminum turkey roaster pans) stir together the Cheerios, Rice Chex, pretzels and peanuts; set aside. (I always use store-brand cereals, you can't tell the difference here) Melt the margarine and stir in the garlic powder, onion salt, celery salt and Worcestershire sauce. Slowly pour this over the cereal mix, stirring to coat as much as possible. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 250 for 2 hours, 1st hour covered, 2nd hour uncovered. Stir every half hour. Allow to cool before storing. I usually make 2 pans at a time. Enjoy!

Just made this, thought it would be more flavorful but its still good...not the best thing I've ever made. I also used cashews instead of peanuts.
