GRANDMA'S CHRISTMAS CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss chex cereal and pretzels with the melted butter, vegetable oil, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt.
• Pour onto prepared baking sheets in an even layer and bake for 1 hour, tossing halfway through.
• Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

PARMESAN GARLIC CHEX MIX

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the cereal, goldfish, pretzels and cheese crackers. In a small bowl whisk together mix melted butter, worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder and onion powder together.
• Pour the butter seasoning mix over the cereal mixture and stir gently until evenly coated. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and stir to coat again.
• Spread out the chex mix on your largest baking sheet or 2 smaller baking sheets. You want the cereal in as even a layer as you can but since we will be stirring frequently it will cook evenly.
• Bake in a 250° F oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes until toasted and golden.
• Allow the snack mix to cool on the baking sheet, then serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

HOLIDAY CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Mix cereal, almonds, pretzels, and coconut in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine butter, sugar, and Karo.
• Over medium heat melt the butter and blend ingredients together.
• Stir while heating, and once it comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes. Set a timer because if it cooks too long it will be too hard. If it doesn't cook long enough it will be too soft.
• Once it has cooked at a full boil for 2 minutes take the mixture off the heat.
• Sprinkle in the topped candy canes ( make sure you add them slowly so they don't turn into a large ball).
• As you sprinkle in the candy cane, whisk to prevent large lumps.
• Pour over the top of the cereal mixture in bowl and stir until all cereal is well coated.
• Then pour onto a greased cookie sheet and top with sprinkles if you want.
• Let cool, store in a zip lock bag and enjoy!
