Chex Mix

Who doesn’t love home made Chex Mix? It is one of my very favorite snacks and it does not last long when I make a batch of it. Mikayla LOVES this snack and would eat it as an entire meal if I let her.

There are thousands of variations of the very popular snack mix that General Mills made popular many years ago. This family recipe is an adapted version of the recipe off the side of the cereal box that I have changed to make not only Gluten Free but also Dairy Free.

Ingredients

6 Tablespoons Earth Balance, melted
5 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 Cups Corn Chex
3 Cups Rice Chex
2 Cups Gluten Free Cheerios
1 Cup Gluten Free Pretzels
1/2 Cup chopped peanuts

Directions

Pre-heat your oven to 250 degrees.
In a glass measuring cup, whisk the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and garlic powder and set aside.

In a large roasting pan add the Chex cereal, pretzels and peanuts and stir to mix. WAIT to add the cheerios until later. Pour the liquid seasoning over the dry ingredients and stir to coat the cereal evenly. Now you can add the cheerios and stir those to coat as well. (I wait to add the cheerios because they tend to fall to the bottom of the pan, soak up the liquid and shrink and shrivel when cooked.)

Cook the mix for one hour, stirring and shaking table salt over the mixture, every 15 minutes.
