Chex Mix...

[shadowicewolf]

I remember when i was younger we would make chex mix all the time with just the chex cereal and the seasonings.... Looking back, i shudder at the amount of salt that was on them (and the butter and what not).

Any ideas for a "mild" chex mix or perhaps something just as good (has to be baked )?

This is the authentic 1960s recipe:

3 tbsp cooking oil

1 tbsp peanut butter

Blend over low heat until blended ( I microwave)

Add: 1tbsp Worchestershire sauce

1/4 teasp garlic salt

1/4 tsp salt

In a 9x13 pan mix:

2 cups wheat Chex

2 cups corn Chex

2 cups rice Chex. ( I do 3 cups each corn & rice)

1/2 can salted peanuts

1 cup pretzels

Mix in the sauce. Bake at 200 F for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.

You could use unsalted peanuts, low salt Worch. sauce & garlic powder to make it very low salt.

In the US Lea & Perrins is gluten-free.

Thanks for that recipe. What do you use in place of pretzels? The only gluten-free brand that I know about uses msg, so doesn't work for moi.

The only gluten-free pretzels I have on hand right now are Glutino Sesame Pretzel Rings (totally addictive!) and just checking the bag, they don't contain MSG but they do contain soy. I know they also make plain pretzels and pretzel sticks.

I don't have any Snyder's of Hanover gluten-free pretzels on hand but you could pull up their website. I find them to be too hard and crunchy for me.

That's the brand. Unfortunately, they DO contain msg under a Camouflaged name. Can't remember which one they used.

I use pretzels if I have them. Could make it with a little more chex or nuts & no pretzels.

1/3 cup Lee and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 box corn chex cereal

But I add gluten-free "cheerios"- I think the Glutino brand is what I used last time. For gluten-free pretzels I used EnerG Wylde brand. They are the only ones I have found that are soy free.

I have not made this since I had to cut out dairy however. Lea and Perrins is gluten-free and SF but I found that the anchovies in in were bothering me. So I have not tried to make Chex mix for a while.

Here are some other "flavors" of Chex mix. Maybe something would work? This is General MIlls website for gluten free.
