This recipe is ancient and some people call it chex mix, in the south my grandmother makes it as Christmas presents every year for numerous people and she calls it scrabble. Not sure how that name came to be, but it has always been a favorite treat. It is by FAR my two boys favorite snack, and we make it a bit more often than Christmas. Halloween sounded like as good a time as any right??!! And plus it isn't the sugar filled candy they will be eating on Monday so we made it for a treat at our pumpkin carving get together, yummy!!!
It's super easy. Here's the ingredients:
5 cups of rice chex
5 cups of corn chex
4 cups of gluten free pretzels
your choice of nuts and your choice of how many to add. My kids don't really eat them, except they like pumpkin seeds (about 1 cup) so we added those and almonds (1-2 cups) since I love those...
1/2 cup of earth balance butter, or your choice of butter
2 tab Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tab garlic powder
2 tsp sea salt
In a small sauce pan melt the butter, add the garlic powder, sea salt, and Worcestershire sauce and mix well while butter melts. Once the butter is melted, pour over the rice and corn chex, pretzels, and nuts and stir well. Use a large roasting pan if you have one, something wide and deep so that all the ingredients can spread out. Make sure to coat all the ingredients well. Put in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes uncovered, and then stir well so that you are turning the bottom of your pan and coating the ingredients well. Repeat 3 more times so that you have baked this a total of 2 hours and stirred it 4 times. And you will have the best smelling house ever! Mmmm reminds me of my grandmother's house every time.
