Homemade Cereal Snack Mix







Your favorite cereals can become a snack mix to enjoy any time.


Even though you can buy packaged cereal snack mixes, many people prefer the taste of homemade. Cereal snack mixes are an easy treat for kids' sports teams, Christmas gifts, parties, or simply to have on hand when you crave a sweet-and-salty treat.


Instructions








1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees, then line up four baking trays and divide the cereal, pretzels and nuts evenly among them. Each tray should have a mixture of the three cereals, pretzels, and two types of nuts. Mix the cereal and nuts together so that they are well blended.


2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Pour the sauce evenly over the four trays of cereal, nuts and pretzels. Mix well so that each piece of cereal is coated.


3. Bake the cereal mix at 250 degrees for 75 minutes. Every 15 minutes, remove the trays to stir the cereal so that all the pieces cook evenly. Allow the cereal mix to rest on cooling racks for one to two hours before packaging or serving.
