Fun Memories With Rice Chex Trail Mix

Perfect snack for road trips, holiday parties, football.
I have been making these since I could reach the stove.  My Grandma used to keep these on hand when we would play canasta at her river cottage. My Mom used to have these ready for me after school.

Lots and lots of recipes published for Rice Chex Trail mix. When in a hurry I melt a couple tablespoons of butter in a pan and splash a bunch of Lea n Perrins worcestire sauce, throw in the Rice Chex and whatever else I have that works, sprinkle with garlic salt.  I cook on medium heat for like 5 minutes until it feels right.

Time permitting I dump several boxes of various chex, cheerios, pretzels and peanuts in a roasting pan with a stick of butter and like half a bottle a
Lea n Perrins worcestire sauce. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
I cook these for like 45 minutes on about 325.
Stirring approximately every 10 or 15 minutes.
These travel great in tins or tupperware. I've stored them for a week or more if I can keep the kids out of them that long. Important to cool completely before storing them in a container.

This is one recipe where I think the particular brand makes a difference. This is worth the extra trip to the store to pick up the Lea n Perrins if you can swing it. I also notice the name brand Chex Mix state they are gluten free, I have not noticed a gluten free claim on the couple off brands I have looked at.
