dairy, though can be parve

People who are professed chex mix haters have been known to scarf this version. It took my sister who loves pre-made chex mix a little while to get used to the flavor, though.

• 16 oz. whole grain chex

• 1 ½ c wheat pretzels or Peppridge Farm Snack-Stix

• 1 c Goldfish crackers (optional)

• 1 c unsalted cashews

• 1 c dry roasted peanuts (unsalted)

• 6 T olive oil

• 2 T Worchestershire sauce

• 1 t onion salt

• ¾ t garlic powder

• 1 t seasonings (I combine Italian blend herbs and thyme)

• ½ t salt or soy sauce (optional)

Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the olive oil with the other seasonings. Pour this sauce over the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly coated. Spread in two 9x13 pans. Bake for 1 hour at 250ºF, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread out on dishtowels covered with wax paper to cool. The mix will get crispy as it cools.
