Oh, it's that sweet time of year again... Fall! And we all know the Holidays are just around the corner! There's a million things I love about the Holidays, one of them being the treats & food! Growing up there were special snacks & dishes that Mom would only make for Thanksgiving & Christmas. One of us kids favorites was making homemade Chex Mix, and still is! It's a tradition, one that I know many of you all have too!

Receiving snow last weekend jump-started my Holiday excitement and anticipation! I've been in the mood to bake, bake, and decorate! Shoot! I'm even ready for a Christmas tree! - This week the little ones and I spent a morning mixing up Chex-Mix. I always make a double or triple batch, freezing a portion of it for later... talk about quick & handy! - Here's one of our favorite recipes!
Sweet & Savory Chex Mix
3 cups Bagel chips
3 cups Cheetos® Cheese Puffs
3 cups Pepperidge Farms® Goldfish
| 3 | cups pretzels |
| 3 | Cheerios® cereal |
| 3 | cups Chex® cereal |
| 1 1/2 | cups Mixed nuts [optional] |
| 1 | cup Butter |
| 5 | tablespoons Brown sugar |
| 6 | tablespoons Worcestershire sauce |
3/4 teaspoon. Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
Preheat oven to 250°.
Mix the last 6 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat, until butter is melted. Cook until mixture is thoroughly warm.
In a large bowl mix dry ingredients together, except Cheese puffs!
Pour warm sauce over top and stir until mix is evenly coated.
*I like to add half the sauce, stir, and then add the last half.
Spread party mix onto buttered cookie sheet[s].
Bake 30-40 minutes and let cool, add cheese puffs & stir in!
