Recipe: Nuts & Bolts - (Bits & Bites) for Laura

Nuts & Bolts - (Bits & Bites)
This recipe has evolved over the years. My mother-in-law gave me the original recipe. It is very popular at parties. If you are particularly fond of one of the ingredients, add more of that item.

2 cups unsalted mixed nuts
5 cups Crispix cereal - it is not as good with other unsweetened cereals, so for best results, don't substitute Pretzel sticks and/or rings, few cups or to taste
Corn chips, regular flavour, few cups or to taste
Bugles, regular flavour, few cups, or to taste
Ritz Bits or cheese pills, few cups, or to taste

Mix all of these ingredients in a large roasting pan.

1 to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
butter, usually about one half to three quarters of a cup
seasoning salt (Club House if possible)

Melt butter. Add Worcestershire sauce. Pour over dry ingredients which have been mixed in a large roasting pan. The ingredients should look slightly moist at this point. If they don't, add a bit more melted butter. It bakes into the dry ingredients and gives them a great taste. Sprinkle with seasoning salt to taste. Bake in oven at 225 for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. It is better if it is made a few days before a party. Keep in covered tins or bags. It won't last long!
