NUTS AND BOLTS : The Recipe

The Christmas season with all its sweet goodies seems to benefit from something salty and this provides just that.

6 cups Shreddies

8 cups Cheerios

8 oz pretzels  (sticks)

16 oz peanuts (redskin or blanched or a mixture)

Melt  1/2 lb margarine.  Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil.  Stir in 4 tbsp worchestershire sauce, 2 tsp garlic salt or powder, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp onion salt.  Put dry ingredients in a baking pan (a turkey roaster works well), pour oil mixture over top,  mix well.  Bake  uncovered in 350 * oven for 30 minutes, stirring often.  Cool before packaging.

The smell is so delicious you won’t be able to resist tasting before it cools, but be careful – those peanuts are hot!  A family tradition for more than forty years.  Thank you Catherine!
