Yield 7 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
2 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
2 cups pretzels
1 cup peanuts (or any variety of nuts)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use more cause I like saltiness!)

Steps:

You could also try adding other things when the mix is done.
I like to add about a cup of raisins, which I think really improves the flavor.
Also, M&M's would be good, maybe marshmallows-- the possibilities are endless!
Add what you like!
Heat oven to 275°F.
Mix cereals, pretzels, and peanuts in a large ungreased rectangular pan.
Stir together butter, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic salt, and salt.
Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
Bake thirty minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cool and then add raisins, if using.
Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
