Chex Mix Recipe

This recipe differs slightly from the one you will find on the Chex website but I think this one is much better.

• 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• Some Onion Powder
• Some Garlic Powder
• Tabasco sauce - I use the Habanero version and generously shake it probably 15-20 times.  I've never measured how much actually goes in.  If you like it less spicy, I suppose you could use the regular version or the Chipotle version, but the habanero burn is pretty addicting!

In a large bowl (large enough to hold all the mix you're going to make) melt the butter in the microwave until it's nice and melty, but not bubbling out of control. Add the Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt and stir until blended.

Add in:

• 2 cups Wheat Chex
• 2 cups Rice Chex
• 2 cups Corn Chex
• 1 cup salted peanuts (optional for the peanut allergy folks)
• 1 cup pretzel sticks

Mix it all up so the dry stuff is well coated with the buttery goo. Cook for 2 min on HIGH. Then stir it up and cook for another 2 min on HIGH. Stir it again and then cook for a final 2 min on HIGH. Let it all dry on a couple of paper towels set out on a cookie sheet. As the mix cools it will regain its crunch.
