Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I made this on Thursday. It was a bit of an experiment for me. Although I've seen these recipes floating about the WWW, I'd still had some doubts going into it. Welp, it turned out great. Although I really enjoy this snack, I hadn't made it in quite sometime. Let me tell you the aroma seasonized my place with a merry aroma. I did change up some ingredients. Instead of mixed nuts, I put in some peanuts and smoked almonds. Instead of 9 cups of the various " chexy " mix, I added 6 cups of the Uni-Chexy (the type that is suppose to encompass all of the chexy types) and a handful of cheesy crackers. I increased the amount of butter, Worcestershire sauce (make sure the brand doesn't have @nchovies) and seasonings. In addition to the seasonings below, I added some cayenne pepper for some heat and some parmesan cheese (because I saw that another recipe used it and I thought it sounded good). I added little by little the mixed butter and Worcestershire in the crockpot while stirring the snack mixture and then did the same with the dry seasoning mix that I created (you could probably put it all in a container or bag and then transfer to crockpot, however in my mind you would lose all of that seasoning goodness that would stick to the sides of the container or bag). The recipe doesn't indicate, however by checking out other recipes the temp. setting should be on low. During the process the cereal will get moist and chewy (but not " squeaky " and that is why you take the cover off during the latter stage of the cook (a quick note - be sure to stir throughout the cook and make sure you get to the bottom - it will burn on the bottom if you don't). This will dry it out. Then place it in an open container and let it dry, stirring occasionally. Really good and addictive stuff. S. ---- Chex Mix in Crock Pot 1 cup mixed nuts 1 cup pretzels 1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips or regular-size bagel chips, broken into 1-inch pieces 3 cups Corn Chex™ cereal 3 cups Rice Chex™ cereal 3 cups Wheat Chex™ cereal 6 tbls margarine or butter 2 tbls Worcestershire sauce 3/4 tsp garlic powder 1 1/2 tsps seasoned salt 1/2 tsp onion powder Put all the cereal and snack ingredients into your crock pot, then drizzle the butter mixture over the top and toss until well-mixed. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours. Uncover for the last 30-40 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Thanks be to the Great and Wonderful that it is not " squeaky. " Can't take any more squeaky. I can tell everyone else but me knew what was meant by the scientific term " squeaky.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Sounds good! But the downside is you have to smell this wonderful mixture cooking all day but you can't have any!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi Sherry, You make yours in the microwave? Can you please give me a bit more detail? How long do you nuke it for? What types of ingredients? I still have plenty of ingredients and had planned on making another batch. Thank you. Shawn On 11/26/05, Sherry Rose wrote: > > Sounds good!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi Shawn, You know, I really don't remember, and I don't have it written down. I just buy a box of Corn Chex and follow the directions on the back for microwave. I make usually a half batch, but I use vegetarian worcestershire sauce and all corn checks -- no pretzels, nuts, etc. I love the way the chex gets really flavored up by absorbing the sauce. The nuts etc don't. You might try their website -- they probably have directions somewhere on it. Hope that helps~ Sherry At 09:18 AM 11/27/2005, you wrote: >Hi Sherry, > >You make yours in the microwave? Can you please give me a bit more detail? >How long do you nuke it for?

I > just buy a box of Corn Chex and follow the directions on the back for > microwave. I've always liked the corn or rice chex for this thing. I thought the box I purchased had those two and the wheat (or bran, the brown ones) chex mixed up. Ended up it was all of the chex types smooshed into one recipe and chex product. So the texture ended up like the crunchier wheat variety. Would have rather have had the corn but it was great either way. I make usually a half batch, but I use vegetarian > worcestershire sauce and all corn checks -- no pretzels, nuts, etc. Interesting. It all really ends up tasting the same, however I do like the different colors, textures and sizes created by adding pretzels, crackers, cheerios and so forth. I love > the way the chex gets really flavored up by absorbing the sauce. Yup yup - no doubt! The nuts > etc don't. You might try their website -- they probably have directions > somewhere on it. Hope that helps~ Thanks Sherry. Will check it out. I checked the box but no such luck on that. Oh I've also tried a recipe called Texas Trash. That includes pumpkin seeds and a few dashes of hot sauce (along with the usual bits). Good stuff. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like any type of food smell about my place but I make exception for these seasonal times. *belatedThanksgivinghugs* > Amy Happy belated thanksgiving to you - or for some of us happy leftovers day. Amy, how was your restaurant experience?? Shawn ------------------------------ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just posted the menu a bit ago - it was awesome!!! Everything was delicious, but I was glad to have DH there to finish for me - I just don't eat that much at once, and it would have been horrible for it to go to waste! *lol* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet. I'll check it out. Can't wait to see what they served and if you liked it. Everything was > delicious, but I was glad to have DH there to finish for me What a taxing task he had! - I just > don't eat that much at once, and it would have been horrible for it to > go to waste! *lol* I hear that, Amy. Glad you two got to go and check it out. I'll look for the thread and read with envy.
