(NAPSI)-Add a little something new to "the Mix." Stir together new versions of this family favorite snack to serve when you entertain friends and family. Or pack your special recipe in a unique container to give as a gift.
For a festive flair with the tart flavor of cranberries, try the Holiday Mix. Young Chex Mix eaters will enjoy Horns & Drums. A fun-shaped snack replaces the nuts in this version and microwave directions make it easier for kid cooks to help in the kitchen.
The Original Chex® Party Mix
6 Tbsp. margarine or butter*
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
11/2 tsp. seasoned salt
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
3 cups Corn Chex® cereal
3 cups Rice Chex® cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex® cereal
1 cup mixed nuts
1 cup pretzels
1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips or regular-size bagel chips, broken into 1-inch pieces
*Do not use spread or tub products
Heat oven to 250° F. Melt margarine in large roasting pan in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container. Makes 12 cups of snacks.
Variations
Holiday Mix: Use pretzels in holiday shapes and stir in 1 cup dried cranberries before serving.
Horns & Drums: Omit nuts. Use pretzel sticks and bagel chips to resemble "drums and drumsticks." Stir in 1 cup Bugles® snack for the "horns."
Microwave Directions
Melt margarine in large uncovered microwavable bowl on High. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container. Important: Because microwaves cook differently, time is approximate.
