NUTS N' BOLTS



Nuts n' Bolts image

An addictive mix of pretzels, chex cereal, cheerios and nuts, Nuts n' Bolts is a great snack to feed a crowd.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Snacks

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups corn chex
4 cups wheat chex
3 cups rice chex
3 cups skinny bite-sized pretzels
2 cups cheerios
1½ cups salted nuts
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 heaping teaspoons seasoned salt
1¼ teaspoons garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Combine all of the snack mix ingredients in a large disposable aluminum pan.
  • Combine all of the butter seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour slowly over snack mix, stirring as you go, to coat evenly. Continue stirring until snack mix is well coated with seasoning. Bake for 1½ hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool, then serve or store in an airtight container.
  • Note: You can omit any of the snack mix ingredients as long as you substitute something else. The idea is to keep the ratio of snack mix to butter seasoning the same. Also, be sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the snack mix in. The initial surge of heat to preheat the oven will burn the snack mix in a heartbeat.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Cool completely before freezing.
