Easy Chex Mix


Easy and Delicious Chex Mix--Gluten and Dairy Free

Okay, I know some of you are rolling your eyes and asking why I would put a recipe for chex mix on my blog.....  It dawned on me the other day that some people don't think of simple recipes that could be gluten free with an easy substitute.  I'm going to be posting a few such recipes in the next several blog posts.  I changed the recipe slightly so you don't have to measure the pretzels, chex, or nuts--just dump the whole box, container, or bag in.  

Chex Mix
Pour the following into a large bowl:
1 box (14 ounces) corn or rice Chex (or any other off-brand type cereal)
1 bag (8 ounces) gluten free pretzels
1 jar (16 ounces) dry roasted peanuts

Melt 9 Tablespoons dairy free "butter" such as Earth Balance spread  (If you can tolerate dairy go ahead and use butter or margarine--it is probably much better for you anyway and is way cheaper!)

Add the following to the butter and stir to combine:
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (I used Lea & Perrins which is gluten free)
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder

Add the butter/seasoning mixture to the chex mixture and gently stir together to combine.  Pour into two large cookie sheets or large pans.  Place in a 250 degree oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.  Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
