My mix is based on a recipe that my childhood best friend's mother, Mrs. Harper, had for Chex Mix. It became an annual ritual for me to call her to ask for the recipe yet again. This mix is so very, very yummy and decadent! Good thing I only make it once a year...

14 cups, approx (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Seasoning mix

1 lb bacon, slices
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt, to taste
4 dashes Tabasco sauce, to taste

The Dry Mix

2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 cup cashew pieces
2 cups pretzels, sticks or knots (I like the sticks)
5 cups Corn Chex
3 cups Rice Chex
1 cup Wheat Chex
2 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
1 cup cheese nips or goldfish crackers

Directions

1
Fry up the bacon until it's nice and crisp.
2
Then place the cooked bacon in a container and reserve it for another use- it's the leftover drippings you're after!
3
Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
4
Melt the butter and bacon drippings together in a saucepan, then stir in the seasonings to make a nice, buttery mix.
5
In a very large bowl, combine the mix ingredients.
6
Gradually stir in the buttery seasoning mix until the dry mix is evenly coated.
7
Spread on cookie sheets and bake for 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes.
8
Spread on paper towels to cool.
9
Store in airtight container.
10
Makes about 14 cups Chex mix snack.

Hello, i was reading this recipe. Let me tell you, i didn't get past step number 2 before i was running out the door to buy the ingredients for this recipe. Because the cereals that are needed for this recipe were not on sale, i kinda skimped on the cereal. i used crispix and muilti-grain cheerios. Also, i think the cashew pieces get lost in the sea of chex mix. Maybe next time i'll use whole cashews. i also doubled the seasoning mix and i didnt have celery salt, so i used celery seed instead and added a bit more seasoning salt

This is the absolute best!!! I even double the seasonings for a bolder flavor. WOW! I've made this several times and have added grated parmesean cheese to the top after I put the mix on the baking sheets. It just adds another texture. Any thing you add to it would be great. Also i have searched everywhere for bagel chip and have yet to find just the chips. Thanks for posting!

very good. I like that the flavoring doesn't overpower everything else and you can still detect the taste of the original mix "component". I made it for a car trip and it really did the job of chasing away the munchies (although we ended up gorging ourselves on it, LOL). Will definately be making these again. Thanks for posting!
