Rima's Snack Mix

Rima's Snack Mix

aka Nuts & Bolts, Méli-Mélo or Little Bites

(This is a good snack because you can control the fat and the salt)


Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil (or non-hydrogenated margarine)

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (no store brands!)

½ tsp garlic powder (NOT garlic salt)

½ tsp onion powder*

½ tsp paprika*

¼ tsp salt*

2 cups wheat square cereal (a.k.a. Shreddies or Chex)

2 cups toasted oat cereal (a.k.a. Cheerios)

2 cups pretzels (I use whole grain)

1 cup Goldfish & 1 cup unsalted peanuts or unsalted soy nuts

OR 2 cups Goldfish, mini-crackers, etc…

*** I use 1 tsp. seasoned salt instead of these 3


(You can also substitute other favourites, as long as you have roughly 6-7 cups of munchies)


Directions

Preheat the oven to 250 °F (120 °C).

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and all seasoning.

In a large roasting pan, combine dry ingredients.

Drizzle with oil mixture and mix well.

Bake for 1 hour, turning contents every 15 minutes to prevent heavy

browning।


If there’s any left, store in airtight container, it keeps well.

Apparently, I can't count very well. The combined munchies add up to 8 cups, not 6 or even 7.

You know, I can't count either. I'd never have noticed!
