Evelyn's Party Mix

Evelyn was the person who introduced the family to new fun foods, like taffy, artichokes, and these snacks that have become another family holiday tradition.WARNING:  this is the original recipe. DO NOT use "large" packages of cereals. Due to super-sizing, if you do that, you will have a cubic yard of party mix. Use the SMALLEST package of cereals that you can find. It will still fill your largest roasting pan. I use one-pound bags of pretzels and one Costco jar (about a quart)  each of mixed nuts and cashews, and save the jars to use some of the final mix. When I sent a jarful to Mark's house once, I got a note from Dr. Sue Decker who said "Please don't tell Meghan that it came with cashews in it!"

Mix together in a large roasting pan:

1 large package Cheerios

1 large pkg Rice Chex

1 large pkg Wheat Checks

2 Cans mixed nuts

2 cans cashews

2 large pkgs long pretzels

Melt together:

1 C oil

½ C margarine

1 tsp celery salt

1 tsp onion salt

1 tsp tobasco sauce

1tsp savory salt

¼ tsp garlic salt

2 T Worchestershire Sauce

Pour the sauce over the cereals.  Bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
