Chex Mix

Okay, is there anyone out there that can resist a handful of chex mix?  I challenge you to produce that person as evidence.  If it is sitting on the counter, it will be snacked upon.  You'll find yourself altering your walk through the kitchen to walk by and have a taste.  You will be compelled to stop and snack again.  and again.  and again.

This is a combo creation from a couple of different recipes--one from the Chex box and one I found online for 'grandma's best chex mix'.  The original one from the box just doesn't have as much coating as I think it should.

You will want a total of 12-14 cups cereal and snacks.  I used the following but you can substitute others for your taste, like bagel chips, goldfish crackers, different kind of nuts, etc.

In a big bowl, combine all of the cereal and snacks.

Melt the butter and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Add the sauce to the dry ingredients and toss for 1-2 minutes to make sure everything is well coated.
