Chex Mix Season!

[gblowfish]

The lovely Mrs. B likes to make Chex Mix for the holidays and share it with her family and friends. She's been laid up with a bad back, so I've been making it this year. I've made two big batches so far, and batch #3 coming up this afternoon. I use Corn, Wheat and Rice Chex, Cheerios, stick pretzels, Planters mixed nuts and extra cashews, Worsh sauce, a stick of real buttah, seasoned salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Roast for an hour at 255 degrees, stir it up every 20 minutes so it doesn't burn the nuts. Nothing worse than burning your nuts. Thats as low as my oven will go. How do you make yours?

Yes you do buddy. Yes you do.

Utz pub mix is pretty good for store-bought snack mix.

I must be the odd ball here- I can't remember ever seeing anyone I know make Chex mix, rarely if ever ate it growing up, only do so now on rare occasions when I'm at someone's house and it's the only snack to eat, plus never bought it at the store that I can recall.

I like very different items to munch on, namely Goldfish crackers, Cheese It's, standard pretzels like Rolled Gold, Blue Diamond almonds, Pistachios or Planter's cashews or peanuts. Don't eat a lot of potato chips, never Fritos, Doritos or Nachos.

I have however recently been chowing down some Cheetos Puffs during Amazon Snack days. My keyboard has never been so orange.

Patient: Hey doc, I'm not sure what's up. My pecker has turned orange.

Doctor: Huh. What do you do in your free time?

Patient: Cheetos and porn.
