BITS N BITES - 1

2 cups unsalted mixed nuts
5 cups Crispix cereal
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
1/2 to 3/4 cup butter
seasoned salt

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.
