BBQ PARTY AND SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Combine Fritos, Chee-tos, Cheez-Its, corn nuts, sesame sticks, potato sticks, and soy nuts in a large bowl, mixing well.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter or margarine; add the Worcestershire, paprika, garlic and onion powders, chili powder, liquid smoke, bbq sauce and Tabasco.
• Combine with a whisk until smooth.
• Pour mixture over snack mix and stir well until all of the snacks seem equally coated.
• Spread the snack mix on a large flat baking sheet that has a lipped edge and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes (this promotes even drying).
• Mixture is done when it is dry and crisp; the sesame sticks get crispest as they cool.
• Cool snack mix and store in an airtight container until ready for use.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to fully cool before serving or storing.
