Smoky And Spicy Party Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce until well blended. Whisk in seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and celery seed.
• Combine corn cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, and pretzels in a large oven-safe bowl or roasting pan. Drizzle the sauce over the mix with a spoon, stirring frequently, until well coated.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until hot and crunchy, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Turn off the oven, stir the mix, and leave the oven door cracked open with the mix still inside. Let cool inside for 45 to 60 minutes. Store in airtight containers.

Steps:

• Combine butter, Worcestershire sauce, TABASCO® Sauce, and seasoned salt in a small bowl and mix well. Pour cereals, nuts, pretzels and cheese crackers into a large plastic zip-top bag. Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture inside Zipper Bag. Seal top of bag securely. Shake bag until all pieces are evenly coated.
• To prepare in microwave oven: Pour contents of bag into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 5 to 6 minutes, stirring thoroughly every 2 minutes and scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Spread on absorbent paper to cool. Store in airtight container.
• To prepare in conventional oven: Pour contents of bag into an open roasting pan. Bake in a 250 degrees F oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and store as directed above.

Steps:

• Arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 250 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Combine cereal, nuts, pretzels and add-ins in a very large bowl. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave in 20-second increments, about 1 minute. (You can also do this in a small saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.) Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
• Add half of the melted butter mixture to the cereal mixture. Gently and thoroughly fold to combine. Add the rest of the melted butter mixture and stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Divide the mixture evenly across the prepared pans. Bake, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes, until crisp and slightly darkened in color, about 1 hour. Cool completely on the pans on wire racks before serving (if you can wait that long). Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
