SWEET-AND-SALTY PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease two rimmed baking sheets with vegetable oil.

Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

JULIE'S EXTRA SPECIAL HOLIDAY CHEX MIX

• Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Melt the butter and bacon drippings together in a saucepan, then stir in the seasonings to make a nice, buttery mix.
• In a very large bowl, combine the mix ingredients.
• Gradually stir in the buttery seasoning mix until the dry mix is evenly coated.
