Party Mix or Crunchy Munchies, Revisited

    1 c  Cheerios
    2 c  Wheat Chex
    2 c  Rice Chex
    2 c  Corn Chex
    2 c  No-fat pretzel sticks
  1/2 c  Apple juice
    5 ts Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian)
  1/2 ts Garlic powder
1 1/4 ts Onion powder
  1/2 ts Seasoned salt  

Combine dry cereals to make 9 cups and add pretzel sticks.

Combine apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Brush 1/2
of the liquid on the cereals and toss.

Microwave 3 minutes on high. Stir and brush on 1/4 of the liquid.
Alternately, oven bake 15-20 minutes at 300°F.

Oven bake at 300°F for 30 minutes. At 15 minutes, stir and apply the
remaining liquid. Cook the remianing 15 minutes or until the mix is
the shade you prefer....

Remove and let cool. Serve and enjoy.

No idea of calories.... but for some reason it still serves 8... ;-)

  The microwave did not make the mix as crunchy as I like, but it does
  do a thorough job of cooking the mix without the problem of the
  mix sticking together so badly the first cycle, as happens when you
  use the oven.

  This was a big hit at my house.  No one seemed to mind the fact that
  this mix had NO butter in it.  Since I am the only one in the family
  actively persuing a VLF lifestyle, I consider this a major
  accomplishment !!
