totally off-topic

Last night at this time the temperature was -25C - now it's only -5C. Looks like the forecast was right - we'll have a couple warm days before the temperature drops once again. So hopefully I'll be able to get out for my haircut and some other errands.

I got my "Nuts and Bolts" made for the Christmas snack.


Preheat oven to 275 F.

one 350 g box of Crispix
one 350 g box of Cheerios
150 – 200 g stick pretzels
Couple cups of peanuts (or mixed nuts)

Mix these ingredients together in a large roasting pan.

Sauce:
½ cup (one square) margarine, melted
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. garlic salt or 1 tsp. garlic powder
Tabasco sauce (about 4 or 5 drops)

Mix together well, making sure the garlic salt or power is completely dissolved.

Pour over the cereal/pretzel/nut mixture and stir well.

Bake for 30 minutes at 275F, stirring well every ten minutes.

Options:

If you can’t find Crispix, you can use Shreddies but they tend to soak up the ‘sauce’ so I prefer the Crispix.

If there are peanut allergies, you can skip the nuts or substitute cashews.

If you don’t like pretzels, you can skip them and add more peanuts.
