Cajun-Spiced Party Mix

  You know those go-to recipes you have that are the best you've ever tasted, no matter how many you try? This is one of those recipes for me. My mom started making this party mix when I was in high school & when I got married & left home, this was one of the recipes I copied out from my mom's recipe collection.



Cajun-Spiced Party Mix
makes approx. 20 cups

1 1/2 cups butter
3 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
2 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
3/4 tsp. white pepper
3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 tsp. black pepper
3/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco

5 cups small pretzels
4 cups crispix cereal
4 cups shreddies cereal
4 cups cheerios cereal
3 cups pecan halves

Preheat oven to 300º.

Mix butter, worcestershire, hot sauce, & spices in a saucepan. Over medium heat, stir until butter melts.



In a large roaster, mix remaining ingredients.



Drizzle butter mixture over cereal mixture. Toss.



Bake for 30 minutes stirring after 15 minutes.



Spread on foil to cool.


Pack in airtight containers.

This makes a great teacher, hostess, neighbour gift as well! A nice jar or tin makes the perfect container. 
Just tie on a bow & add a tag with the recipe name printed on it. Done!

Enjoy your day!
