Ingredients

4 cups shredded cereal

2 cups o's

2 cups pretzels

1 1/2 cup cheddar crackers

3 cups mixed nuts (your choice)

1/2 cup butter (1 stick; see notes)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (see notes)

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon thyme

Directions

Pre-Heat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit

Place all the dry ingredients in a large roasting dish. I used a pyrex rectangular baking dish 15”x10”x2 1/4”.

Heat butter and seasoning spices in a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to infuse the flavors and release the medicinal qualities of the herbs. Add

Pour half the buttery seasoning evenly over the dry ingredients and mix very well using two large spoons. Add in the remaining seasoning, and mix very well again. Taste, and adjust for salt, or any of the other ingredients if desired.

Place tray in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and mix well. Cook another 15 minutes, remove, and mix very well. Continue to cook a final 15 minutes, until the mixture is fully dry, and the ingredients are browned to your liking.
