Slow Cooker Snack Mix

Every year during football season we decide at last minute to throw a get together to watch the game with friends. Well, not this time. This time I will be ready with this little snack mix that will be easy enough to make in the crockpot. Yep, go to work put it in before we leave and come home ready to watch football and get together with friends. I know my mother used to make this type of recipe in slow cooking oven as well, so if you would rather bake it at slow than use your crockpot then go for it. As for me I love my crockpot it helps me out so very much and that is why I will cook ours in the slow cooker. Enjoy!!
 
 
 
 
9 cups Chex cereal (I used equal parts corn, rice, and wheat Chex)
2 cups pretzels
1 cup Cheerios
1 cup peanuts
1/3 cup (6 Tablespoons) butter, melted and hot
1 Tablespoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
 
Add cereal, pretzels, cheerios and peanuts to the bowl of a slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and seasoned salt until the salt is dissolved.  Stir in the Worcestershire sauce until combined.
Drizzle the sauce evenly over the top of the cereal mixture.  Toss for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is evenly combined.
Cover and slow cook on low for 3 hours,  stirring at the 1 hour, 2 hour and 2.5 hour marks so that the mixture does not burn.  Then spread the mixture out onto a few baking sheets or parchment paper in an even layer until it cools to room temperature.  Serve, or store in a sealed container for up to 3 weeks.
*If your slow cooker does not have a tiny hole in it to let air escape, it may collect too much condensation which could make the Chex Mix get too soggy.  If that is the case, I recommend placing a towel underneath the lid of the slow cooker to collect the condensation
