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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 F, and have 2 oven tray/cookie sheets handy. If your cookie sheets are old and tired, you can line them with parchment paper if you wish.
- Put the dry ingredients into a large vessel. A roasting pan works nicely for size. You're only mixing in, not using the roasting pan for baking.
- Mix the melted butter, garlic salt, celery salt and Worcestershire.
- Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Be sure to mix everything very well - I get in there with my nice, clean hands and toss together thoroughly. At this point you won't see a lot of visible butter sauce coating the dry mix, but the butter mixture will be plentiful and will nicely spread around once baking in the oven.
- Spread the sauce covered nuts and bolts in a single layer on oven trays or cookie sheets and bake for 30 minutes at 250 F while stirring and mixing frequently during baking time. I stir, turn and mix about every 10 minutes during the 30 minute baking time. The dry ingredients will be nicely toasted at the end of baking.
- Remove from the oven, cool and store in airtight containers or Ziploc bags.
- These nuts and bolts are easily frozen if you'd like to make them in advance. Some of my family like to eat them right out of the freezer.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh, High-Quality Nuts: Use the freshest nuts possible for the best flavor and texture. Opt for nuts that are free of blemishes and have a natural color.
- Toast Nuts for Enhanced Flavor: Toasting nuts is an easy way to bring out their natural oils and intensify their flavor. You can toast nuts in the oven, on the stovetop, or in a toaster oven.
- Measure Nuts Correctly: When measuring nuts, use a dry measuring cup and spoon them in lightly. Avoid scooping nuts directly from the container, as this can result in overmeasuring.
- Store Nuts Properly: To keep nuts fresh and prevent them from going rancid, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. You can also freeze nuts for up to six months.
- Experiment with Different Types of Nuts: Don't be afraid to try different types of nuts in your recipes. From classic walnuts and almonds to more exotic macadamias and pistachios, there are many varieties to choose from.
Conclusion:
Nuts are a versatile and delicious addition to a variety of dishes. They can be used in sweet or savory recipes, and they add flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Whether you're using them as a snack, a topping, or an ingredient, nuts are a great way to enhance your meals. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty way to add some extra flavor to your food, reach for a handful of nuts. Your taste buds will thank you!
