Mom's Party Mix

The measurements are very loose in this "recipe" for party mix. Package the finished product in small bags and give them away to coworkers, gym friends, or neighbors as a holiday treat.

Equal portions of the following cereals - about 2-3 cups (half box each):
--Corn Chex cereal
--Wheat Chex cereal
--Honey Comb cereal
--Cheerios cereal

2 Cups - Cheez-its (I used pepper jack flavor)
1 Cup - Pretzel sticks
1/2-3/4 Cup - Butter (1 and 1/2 sticks)
1-2 Tbs - Worchestershire sauce
1-2 Tbs - Siracha sauce
1 Tbs - Garlic powder (not garlic salt)
Up to 1 Cup - Sugar (start with 1/2 cup and taste to see if it needs more)

1. Add dry ingredients into a large bowl.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in the sugar, Worchestershire sauce, Siracha sauce, and garlic powder.
3. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to break the pieces.
4. Pre-heat oven at 285 degrees. Pour mixture onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake on middle racks for 15 minutes. Stir gently and bake for 15 more minutes. Repeat. Total baking time is about 45 minutes or when the mixture is crispy. Be careful not to burn the party mix.

Cool thoroughly before storing in an air-tight container.
