This classic homemade nuts and bolts recipe is my family's favourite and I hope you like it as much as we do.

Classic Homemade Nuts and Bolts Recipe

salted butter

seasoning salt

Worcestershire Sauce

garlic powder

paprika

Crispix Cereal plain corn and rice

Rice Chex

plain Cheerios

pretzel sticks

box cheese stick crackers

onion

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.

In a very large roaster, combine the cereals, nuts, crackers and pretzels. In microwave (or on stove) melt butter and mix in spices and Worcestershire. Pour over dry ingredients and stir gently to mix thoroughly.

Bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring gently with a spoon every 25 minutes or so.

The mix will be done when you can see that all of the butter mixture has been absorbed and is dry.

This has become our goto recipe for snack mix.  I use a variety of cereals, corn chips, hoops, pretzels, cheese mini crackers and bites, and peanuts.   It used to only be for Christmas but here it is Feb and I'm making more! Seems to be a favorite in gift baskets I give with baking,  homemade jams and tins of snack mix.   Big thing we do is smoke it on our Traeger at supersmoke for about 2 1/2 hours.   Adds a nice but not overpowering smokey flavor.

It was a decent recipe. However I found there was way too much butter. Next time I would use half. Also, the Worcestershire makes an interesting flavour, I do not like the smell of it cooking.  Aside from these issues, it was actually quite yummy. The smell remained, but the taste was still good. I had to throw about 1/5 of my mix away because it was so saturated in butter. I would make again, but with less butter and no Worcestershire-or less of it. Perhaps 1T instead of 3T

This is my absolute favourite recipe for homemade nuts and bolts.

I love this recipe! I also like to add a quarter tsp of cayenne, use a full 3 Tbsp of garlic and a good Tbsp of onion powder. Our family likes nuts so I also add a few cups of peanuts.

I've made two batches of this already... Pretty much ate the first one myself!! I LOVE this! Subbed in cheese nibs/nips (the small square crackers) when I couldn't find cheese sticks and they also worked really well. I'll be making this for years to come! I think I'll print it out and tape it in the Very Prairie Christmas Bake Book!

I can get bugels at Asian groceries like Galleria or T&amp;T in the corn section of snacks.
