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 butter. 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! (my mother)
