Awesome Crispix Cereal Mix


This is a modified version of Kellog's Crispix cereal mix recipe.  I like to use this instead of Chex cereals because you only have to buy and use one kind of cereal.  Using plenty of peanuts and Cheez-it crackers makes this a snack people can't get enough of.  Excellent for holiday parties!


















Yield: About 9 cups
Serving Size: 1/2 cup (28 grams)

Ingredients for 1 batch:
  • 6 cups Crispix cereal
  • 1 cup Cheezit crackers
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1 cup pretzels
  • ½ stick butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 ½  tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
  1. In large glass mixing bowl, combine cereal, peanuts, and pretzels.
  2. In small microwave safe mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Stir gently until well coated. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds or until melted.
  3. Microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, at 2 minute intervals stirring between each interval.
  4. Repeat process for additional batches


CONVENTIONAL OVEN DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 250º F.
  2. Combine Kellogg's Crispix cereal, nuts, and pretzels in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Set aside.
  3. Stir together remaining ingredients. Pour over cereal mixture. Stir gently.
