Servings:	10
Author Notes:	This classic Chex cereal party mix from the '50s is as popular today as it was back then. Even though you can buy it already made in the snack section of most supermarkets, we think this homemade version still tastes better.
Ingredients:	1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted 1 1/4 teaspoons seasoned salt 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 3 cups Corn Chex ceral 3 cups Rice Chex cereal 3 cups Wheat Chex cereal 3/4 cups salted mixed nuts
Instructions:	Preparation Time: 15 Minutes Cooking Time: High 1 Hour; Low 30 Minutes Yield: About 24 Half-Cup Servings 1. Lightly spray a 6-quart slow cooker with vegetable oil cooking spray. 2. Combine the melted butter, seasoned salt, and Worcestershire sauce in the slow cooker. Add the cereal and mixed nuts. Stir to combine. 3. Cook, uncovered, on high for 1 hour, stirring every 30 minutes. Reduce to low and continue cooking, uncovered, 30 minutes more, or until dry and crisp. 4. Let cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container. Vary It: Make Curry Party Mix by adding 2 teaspoons curry powder along with the melted butter. Add 1 cup golden raisins with the cereal.
