Test Kitchens Director Elizabeth Luckett stirs up this snack mix every year and passes it out to all her neighbors and friends. She likes the recipe because it makes a lot and uses entire packages of cereals and crackers.

Ingredients:

1 (16-ounce) package crisp wheat cereal squares (we tested with wheat chex)

1 (13 1/2-ounce) package baked snack crackers (we tested with cheese nips)

1 (12-ounce) package corn-and-rice cereal (we tested with crispix)

1 (10-ounce) package toasted oat o-shaped cereal (we tested with cheerios)

6 cups small pretzel twists

1 pound pecan halves

1 (16-ounce) can cocktail peanuts

2 1/2 cups butter or margarine, melted

1/4 cup worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 1/2 tablespoons onion salt

1 1/2 tablespoons celery salt

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

Directions:

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large roasting pan. Stir together butter and remaining 5 ingredients; pour over cereal mixture, and toss well.
2. Cover and bake at 225° for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 1 more hour, stirring occasionally. Cool completely. Store in airtight containers.
3. Note: We baked the snack mix in a 16 x 12 roasting pan and the pan was full. You can use 2 smaller roasting pans, but keep in mind the baking time will be less.
