Nuts and Bolts

[CWS4322]

According to the box, the "recipe" consists of 9 cups of cereal, 1 c nuts, 1 c pretzels, 1 c other (bugels,) so a total of 12 cups. You can nuke for 5 - 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

Thanks CW. That sounds about right.
I was reading through some of their recipes on their website.
I need to make another trip to the store, too. I remembered I like those little melba toast things in my part mix.

The melba toast things are my favorite part!

I love wheat chex in mine, they soak up the butter/spice mixture and are soooo good!

Are those the dark ones? I love the dark chex.

In order not to have a bunch of cereal laying around, besides the Cheerios, I bought a Chex mix. One box, two or three different kinds in it.

Yup, those are the dark ones. I usually buy one box of those and one box of crispix, I like how the original chex mix wants you to buy a box of each cereal, that's pretty great marketing!

Okay, I made another batch of Nuts and Bolts--traditional seasoning except I used Fritos instead of bugles or melba toast bits, didn't have any Cheerios. I also didn't have seasoned salt, so I used Mrs. Dash, added smoked paprika. Oh, I also added 1/2 c pumpkin seeds. When it was done, I drizzled with some sesame oil and sprinkled with "4-cheese blend" dry cheese. A friend is giving me homemade curry powder next week--thinking rice chex, pretzels, peanuts, cashews, puffed rice, and the curry powder for seasonings would be the start of a nice mix...
