I. Love. Chex Mix. It is my favorite thing about the fall - well, that's probably not true. I love everything about the fall, and Chex Mix is a delicious bonus. Last fall I was unemployed and I subsisted on Chex Mix (and red and green M&Ms) from October until January. It's amazing I didn't gain a scrillion pounds.

My work recently hosted a happy hour where they supplied the drinks, we supplied the food. Two of us made Chex Mix. His, a new twist with different seasonings, rainbow goldfish and potato sticks. (Potato sticks!) Mine, the classic. Both delicious but for me, mine is home.

This recipe comes from my lovely Aunt Abigail, who would always have her house stocked with Chex Mix every Thanksgiving.

Aunt Abigail's Chex Mix

- 8 cups of chex cereal (rice, corn, wheat)
- 1 cup of thin pretzels, broken in half
- 1 cup of peanuts (cocktail, lightly salted)
- 1/2 stick of butter (melted)
- 1 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 4 1/2 teaspoons Worcertershire Sauce (I use closer to five)

Combine the chex, pretzels, and peanuts in a gallon-size bag. In a bowl, mix the butter, salt, and Worcerstershire sauce. Pour over the ingredients in the bag and mix well. Pour into microwave safe bowl. Microwave for six minutes, stirring after every two. Pour onto paper towels to cool. EAT.
