Extra Special Holiday Chex Mix

It's an annual ritual for me. This mix is so very, very yummy and decadent! Good thing I only make it once a year

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 cereal
2 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
1 cup cheese nips or goldfish crackers

14 cups
1 hour 10 minutes 10 mins prep


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.
