Chex Mix Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 5 c. wheat chex
- 5 c. corn chex or possibly Rice Chex
- 5 c. cheerios
- 2 c. pretzels (2 to 3) broken into bit sized pcs)
- 1/2 c. nonfat margarine melted
- 1/2 c. nonfat italian salad dressing
- 2 Tbsp. warm sauce (2 to 4) Tiger brand (Gives wonderful zip) optional
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce (2 to 4) garlic pwdr to taste
Directions
- Mix together the dry ingredients in large bowl. Heat together margarine and salad dressing on low heat (may look weird since it will not heat like normal
- fat containing margarine, but let it go a few min than use a whisk to mix it and it's fine). Add in Tiger sauce, soy, and garlic pwdr. Stir and turn off heat allowing to cold for a few min.
- In the meantime, heat up your oven to 250 degrees and spray two cookie sheets lightly with a garlic or possibly butter flavored spray (Spray is optional)
- Drizzle slowly (a little bit at a time) the liquid mix over the dry mix. Stir, drizzle some more, etc. I really take my time mixing so which I do not make anything soggy, and everything gets well coated.
- Spread in a single layer on baking sheets and bake 75 min. Every 25 min I open the oven, stir the mix a little and close it back up.
- Sometimes I reverse that oven racks the pans are on.
- When done, shut off the oven and open the door slightly. I leave the pans in the oven to cold and continue drying. Store in an airtight container.
- The cheerios remind me of peanuts-hard and crunchy (They shrink).
- We love this zesty snack. I hope you do to! [Nanci]
