Time 2h10m

Yield 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 cups Shreddies
3 cups Crispex
3 cups Cheerios
3/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees.
Using your small sauce pan on low heat (or a microwave safe bowl using 20 seconds intervals) melt your butter.
While you're waiting for your butter to melt measure out your cereal and pour into your pan.
Once your butter is melted add in your spices - I find this is the best way to make sure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour your melted butter over top of your cereal.
Make sure the cereal is full coated with the melted butter, stirring until its well distributed.
Place in the oven for 1 1/2- 2 hours, giving it a stir every 45 mins.
Let cool down before transferring to a large ziplock bag.

An awesome snack! My mom used to make this every Christmas, and give some away in Christmas tins, or fancy jars. Makes a great hostess gift, or teacher gift- but now I just make it for myself and my family, usually two batches each Christmas!

Categories Appetizer

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (225g) box Cheese Bits (Cheese Nips or Goldfish crackers)
1 (225g) box Mini Ritz Crackers
6 cups Cheerios Cereal
6 cups Shreddies Cereal
6 cups pretzels
2 (1 pound) cups butter, melted
1/3 cups Worchestershire Sauce
2 tbsp Tabasco sauce
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp chili powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250F.
Mix Cheese Bits, Mini Ritz, Cheerios, Shreddies and pretzels together in a large roasting pan (the kind used for turkey or large roast beef).
Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a separate bowl until well mixed. Pour the butter mixture over the bits and bites. Using a wooden spoon, mix well to make sure all the bits and bites are coated in the butter mixture. Sometimes there are some that stick in the corners or bottom and do not get coated. Be sure to stir into the bottom of the pan and draw them up.
Bake in the oven for about 2 hours. Stir the bits and bites every 15 minutes, pulling the ones at the bottom up to the top. After the 2 hours, the moisture should all be gone. If not and some of the pieces are still moist, bake another 15-30 minutes.
Once cool, bag and seal the bits and bites so they stay fresh and crispy.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Season Your Food: Don't be afraid to season your food! Salt and pepper are the basics, but you can also add herbs, spices, and other flavorings to taste.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Use the Right Tools: Using the right tools for the job will make cooking much easier. For example, a sharp knife will make chopping vegetables a breeze.
Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: Cooking is all about experimenting. Don't be afraid to try new ingredients and recipes. You might just find a new favorite dish!

Conclusion:

Cooking doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming. With a little planning and practice, you can easily create delicious meals that the whole family will enjoy. So get in the kitchen and start cooking!
