Holiday Baking and Snacks- Part 1

It's been awhile! I have a bunch of recipes and other cool things to post, I've just gotten behind. But, what better to get back in with then Holiday Baking and Snacks?

For the past 3 years, I make up gift bags stuffed with little bags of my favorite holiday treats. I normally give these bags away to co-workers and some of my parents' friends. One of my favorite gifts to receive is home made goodies. Here is a recipe I made that everyone raves over.




Emily's Party Mix
3 cups corn chex cereal
3 cups rice chex cereal
3 cups wheat chex cereal
3 cups small pretzels*
1 stick unsalted butter
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Combine cereal and pretzels in a large microwavable bowl.

In a small, microwavable bowl, melt butter. Add all seasonings. Pour butter mixture over cereal and pretzels. With 2 large spoons, toss until shiny and coated well.

Microwave uncovered for 6 minutes. mixing thoroughly every 2 minutes. Pour on a baking sheets to cool.

*An alternative to using 3 cups of pretzels would be to add 1 cup of mixed nuts, 1 cup of bite-sized bagel chips, and 1 cup of pretzels. I didn't do that in this batch because I LOVE the chex and pretzels alone. But, feel free to mix it up a bit.

Enjoy!
