Homemade Chex Mix

Once you have all the ingredients, it's easy to make a TON of this snack mix, and it makes for a great gift around the holidays when people get sick of sweets.  Plus you can adjust the seasonings so it is just the way you like it.  This recipe is a little spicy, and very very addicting!

Ingredients:
4 cups rice chex cereal
4 cups wheat chex cereal
3 cups unsalted pretzels
2 cups gold fish crackers (I used the "saltine" flavor instead of cheese)
3 cups cheese crackers
2 cups small bagel chips or stick crackers (I found a wheat-thin cracker "straw" that I used, but only because they didn't have bagel chips in stock)
2 cups peanuts (I used half and half of wasabi flavored and spicy crunchy peanuts)
2 T butter, melted
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 T worcestire sauce
1 t chili powder
1 t cumin
1 t coriander
1 t paprika
1/2 t cayenne
1/2 curry powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1 t salt
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.  Mix together the butter, oil, worcestire, and the remaining list of seasonings.  Whisk to combine well.
Mix the first four ingredients together in a large bowl. Then pour the seasoning mixture in and stir until all of the dry pieces have been coated.

Spread the combination out onto a large rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.  Take the tray out to let the mixture cool.



Meanwhile combine the rest of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. 
When the baked mixture has cooled, combine everything together and mix.  Store in air-tight containers for up to a month.
Merry Christmas!
