Silvar's Chex Mix
Who doesn't like this stuff?
After playing around with the recipe for years, I've gotten it to where I think it is just right. For me. YMMV, of course. Silvar's Chex Mix 4 cups Corn Chex [1] 4 cups Rice Chex 1 cup bagel chips (plain) [2] 1 cup small pretzels or pretzel sticks 1 cup Cheerios [3] 1 cup salted peanuts 1 cup salted cashews 8 tbsp. margarine [4] 2 tsp. Lawrie's Seasoned Salt or McCormick's SeasonAll [5] 2.5 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce [6] 1/2 tsp. garlic powder Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Melt margarine in a pan. Stir in seasoned salt, Worcestershire and garlic powder. Mix dry ingredients in a really large baking pan. Drizzle margarine mixture over dry ingredients, stirring to coat evenly. Bake in oven 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Turn off oven and leave mix in oven with door ajar until cool. Store in airtight container. Notes: [1] The standard recipe calls for 2 2/3 cup each of Corn, Rice, and Wheat Chex. I don't care much for Wheat Chex, so upped the quantity of Corn and Rice Chex accordingly. [2] Modern versions of the recipe call for garlic bagel chips. The ones I've tried are too garlicky and the flavor gets in the way of the main flavors, so I use plain bagel chips. [3] My mother put Cheerios in her version 50 years ago. I'm not about to exclude them in mine! :-) [4] Use margarine, not butter. Butter gives it a "too buttery" flavor that clashes with the other flavors (IMO). [5] Or whatever seasoned salt floats your boat. [6] Or more it you like. Enjoy! -- Silvar Beitel |

The last time I made Chex Mix, I added some hot, crunchy wasabi peas to it, after it was cooked. It was pretty good. Thanks for the recipe. Becca |

An interesting addition/substitution for the cereal part is bite-sized shredded wheat. I've sometimes made it with just shredded wheat and the butter, (I don't use margarine anymore) Worchestershire sauce, and seasonings. That's good too.

The lightness of the Cheerios complements the other, harder components IMO. I'm thinking about adding more Cheerios, not less, next time. Goldfish have their own rather strong flavor (due to whatever mystery dust they use, see comment below, and depending on which variety of Goldfish you're talking about). I want mostly neutral components, all of which soak up the seasoned salt / Worcestershire flavor. > > [4] Use margarine, not butter. �Butter gives it a "too buttery" flavor > > that clashes with the other flavors (IMO). > > Margerine has an even stronger butter-like flavor, albeit fake/ > medicinal... if you abhor the flavor of butter why use *fake* butter? > duh Use peanut oil flavored with a bit of toasted sesame oil... and > use soy sauce rather than worcestershire sauce I typically use Fleischmann's margarine and find that it is less strongly flavored than butter and certainly not "medicinal." I don't "abhor" the taste of butter. In fact, I love it. Just not in Chex Mix. A soy sauce / sesame oil "dressing" might be good, too, especially with the wasabi peas Becca mentioned. I plan to try something along this line in the future. > > [5] Or whatever seasoned salt floats your boat. > > Hmm... boats... perhaps you're implying sea salt. I suggest using > pure salt, and then using real spices and herbs rather than settle for > the mystery dust inherent with all seasoned salts. Seasoned salts are a convenience and their ingredients are listed on the bottle, leaving no mystery. Many of the more popular ones have been popular for decades for a reason: they have found a nice combination of herbs and spices and salt that people like. By all means use plain salt (sea or otherwise) and "real spices and herbs" to your hearts content. In fact, if you have some nifty combination up your sleeve, I'd like to hear about it. > I wouldn't waste cashews on this either.. use toasted sunflower seeds > and toasted garbanzo beans. Cashews are not wasted in this, as far as I'm concerned! I love cashews. Feel free to use any other nuts you like. I used my favorites. > Any questions? Just polite answers. -- Silvar Beitel |

It's probably the cashew toxin, urushiol, not the oil content. Quoting from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew The urushiol must be removed from the dark green nut shells before the seed inside is processed for consumption; this is done by shelling the nuts, a somewhat hazardous process, and exceedingly painful skin rashes (similar to poison-ivy rashes) among processing workers are common. In India urushiol is traditionally used to control tamed elephants by their mahouts (riders or keepers). The so-called "raw cashews" available in health food shops have been cooked but not roasted or browned. |

Making a batchof Chex mix is not a cheap venture today. > Fifty years ago when it was introduced, maybe, but not today. > Usually at the same time my mom made Chex mix, she would also make oven- roasted, salted pecans. Again, not tht expensive fifty years ago, but not at all cheap today. Things like that to nibble on were common in our family, especially around the holidays. Roasted Salted Pecans 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 teaspoons salt (adjust for personal taste) 2 pounds (about 5 cups) pecan halves Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 250F. Melt butter and add salt, mixing together. Pour over pecans, tossing to coat well. Pour pecans evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and barely colored. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Tuesday, 04(IV)/22(XXII)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Today is: Earth Day Countdown till Memorial Day 4wks 5dys 13hrs 30mins ------------------------------------------- Every author hopes that at least one of his epigrams will grow up to be a cliché. --Asa Wilgus |
