Ingredients

Dry ingredients

• 2 boxes (16 cups/1 kg/2.2 lb) rice Chex cereal
• 1 box (8 cups/500 g/1.1 lb) wheat Chex cereal
• ⅔ box (5 cups/320 g/11 oz) Cheerios
• 1 bag (3 cups/250 g/8.8 oz) thin pretzels
• 1 lb (6 cups/450 g) peanuts
• 1 lb (6 cups/450 g) pecans
• 1 can (3 cups/250 g/8.8 oz) cashews
• Salt to taste

Sauce

• 3 sticks (375 g/13.2 oz) margarine
• Heaping ½ cup (150 g/5.3 oz) bacon grease
• 1¾–2 tablespoons garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• Heaping ½ teaspoon Accent seasoning (MSG)
• 2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter

Procedure

1. Melt and combine the sauce ingredients.
2. Combine all dry ingredients except salt in a large canning pot.
3. Sprinkle a little of the sauce mixture over dry ingredients, and shake well. Repeat until sauce is gone.
4. Salt the mixture by sprinkling and shaking in the same way.
5. Bake 1½–2 hours at 200 °F (95 °C) in covered canning pot.
6. Remove frequently to shake.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Put the sauce in a canning jar, and punch several holes in the lid. Sprinkle by turning the jar upside down.
• It took up to seven times of sprinkling and shaking to salt the mixture.
• It is possible to substitute some vegetable oil for the bacon grease, but the result is less authentic.
