Grandma's Chex Mix

          Even though this Chex Mix recipe is from the back of a Rice Chex cereal box; in my mind it's still Grandma's recipe. It is cattle showing season and Grandma typically sends us a couple containers full of Chex Mix and sometimes Puppy Chow.

3	cups Corn Chex® cereal
3	cups Rice Chex® cereal
3	cups Wheat Chex® cereal
1	cup mixed nuts
1	cup bite-size pretzels (We aren't a huge pretzel family so a good twist is Goldfish crackers!!!)

6	tablespoons butter or margarine
2	tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2	teaspoons seasoned salt

One year, one of my best friend celebrates her birthday at state fair and I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she said, "Your Grandma's puppy chow!" So Grandma Hanson made an ice cream bucket full of puppy chow, just for her! This stuff is usually gone by the second day of the show so it is great to know that everyone loves it! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Best of Luck to You in Your Cooking Adventures! :)
