Julie's Extra Special Holiday Chex Mix Recipe #49543
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...

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