As I've made snack mixes before, I've had a little trial and error to go on before I made this particular snack mix. Because I didn't want the margerine to "turn" on this mix, I used vegetable oil instead. I used Beau Monde seasoning instead of celery salt (I don't have celery salt on hand) and garlic POWDER instead of garlic salt. This was good but a little TOO salty. Next time, I'll cut back on or cut out the seasoning salt all together. NOTE: If you bake this at 275*, you shouldn't have an issue with burning if you stir the mix in the pan every fifteen minutes. Setting a timer to go off every fifteen minutes helps. Sometimes, it won't need the whole time the recipe asks for, it might be done sooner.

I followed this recipe exactly, and it came out all wrong. I wound up using the recipe on the Chex box, and it came out perfect. This recipe was too greasy and salty.

Great recipe! My family loved this to only changes I made was to replace the celery salt with onion powder. I also used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. and increased the worcestershire sauce to 4 Tblspns. Yum Yum. Doesn't even last a day in my house. Great starting recipe.

Instead of oat cereal, I added Spicey Cheese-Its, it was delicious. Made from similar recipe I had used before, and plan to make as gifts for Christmas for the nephews in the family.

Made this recipe but only had butter, it was way too buttery and salty for my taste. Next time I will reduce the amount of salt, use margarine and probably pour the mixture OVER the chex so that some arent' so saturated while others are dry.

great recipe! I did change a few things though! I used 2.5 cups of each cereal because of all the butter and used 6 tsp. worcestershire sauce. onion powder and garlic powder 2 tsp each. I added extra seasoning salt around 4 tsp... did not burn because I did it at 250 degrees instead of 275. I also used two cookie sheets because of using more cereal. I also used the whole can of nuts. turned out great!

I changed the celery salt to celery seed-used less. all the salts were changed to powders, used CostCos's no salt seasoning. used real unsalted butter. didn't have any mixed nuts handy, but used 2 types of pretzels & some oyster crackers. Seems like it will be a good last-minute snack while visiting the neighbors today!

Mmm, this kind of party mix always reminds me of christmas. I used 10 cups total of pretzels, cheerios, shreddies, and cheese nips (brother is allergic to nuts). I also increased the worcestershire sauce to 1/4 cup and only used half the oil.
