Cashew Chex Mix

*

Combine in extra large mixing bowl
:

*
*3 cups Wheat Chex Mix

*3 cups Corn Chex Mix

*3 cups Rice Chex Mix

*3 cups Cheezit Whole Grain Crackers

*3 cups Pretzel Sticks

*10 ounces Cashew Pieces

*

Chex Sauce
:

*
*1/2 cup Butter

*1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce

*1 teaspoon Soy Sauce

*2 teaspoons Season-All (or your favorite seasoned salt)

*3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

*1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder

*1/4 teaspoon Chipotle Chile Powder or to taste, optional

*
In a 4 cup glass measuring cup add the above sauce ingredients and heat in the microwave, watching until it starts to bubble. Then remove from microwave and drizzle and toss-drizzle and toss until coated. Place cashew chew mix in a 250* F. Preheated oven on two half baking sheets and bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. There are recipes for microwave and for the crockpot but I think this way turns out the best.

*
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on paper towels if desired or allow to cool on baking sheet and enjoy.  Store cashew Chex mix in an airtight container.
