Wanted something my husband wouldn't call 'wussy' flavor! Think this did it!

Ingredients

• ADDITIONAL HEAT, optional:
• 10 cups Chex mix, any combination
• 2 cups mixed nuts
• 2 cups pretzels
• 2 cups bite-sized cheese crackers (I used Colby and preferred those)
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 4 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tsp seasoned salt
• 3 Tbsp red pepper sauce
• 2 T red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 T cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Microwave Instructions: In large microwaveable bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels, crackers; set aside. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on high about 40 seconds or until melted. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt and red pepper sauce. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.

Microwave uncovered on high for 5-6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.
Oven Directions: heat oven to 250. In large bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels and crackers, set aside. In ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt and pepper sauce. Gradually stir in cereal mixture until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour. Stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cook, about 15 minutes. Store in air tight container.

**** I cranked this up by adding the additional heat. Don said it was HOT! Yes! finally got something hot enough for him!
