Snack: Betty's Original Chex Party Mix

Betty demonstrates how to make the modern-day version of the Original Chex Party Mix. If you compare the recipe to the 1952 version of the Original Party Chex mix, you will see that it has changed quite a lot! This is the recipe that you will currently find on a box of Chex cereal from General Mills. Along with the Chex cereal, the recipe calls for mixed nuts, pretzel chips, bagel chips, and an expanded seasoning blend. This snack is always popular for parties, traveling, sports events, TV, movies, and just as a quick snack! Original Chex Party Mix 3 cups Corn Chex cereal 3 cups Rice Chex cereal 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal 1 cup mixed nuts 1 cup bite-size pretzels 1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips, or regular chips broken into 1-inch pieces 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt ¾ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder 1. In a large microwaveable bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels, and bagel chips; set aside. In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave butter, uncovered, on High, about 40 seconds or until melted. Stir in seasonings. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated. 2. Microwave, uncovered, on High, 5 to 6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container. Oven directions: Heat oven to 250 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix cereal, nuts, pretzels, and bagel chips; set aside. In an ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in cereal mixture until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container. You will notice that the Original Party Chex Mix of 2009 is quite a lot different from the first Original Party Chex Mix of 1952! It has been enhanced, and the baking instructions have been improved. It is also lower in fat! We will try a sweet version of Party Chex Mix soon! All of these are great munchies for watching TV, sports events, movies, or just vegging out on the couch!!!
