Super Sized Party Mix - not for the timid!

3 boxes of Chex (the 17 ounce size is what this is based upon) the traditional flavors are wheat, corn, and rice
1 bag pretzel sticks
1 pound butter or margerine
1 big bottle of nuts from Costco (you can use anything you like)
1/2 c. worcestershire sauce
1 T. garlic powder
1 T onion powder

Lightly combine cereal, pretzels, and nuts in a massive bowl or two. Melt butter gently. When melted, add sauce and powders. While one person tosses the cereal with big spoons, another drizzles the mixture slowly over. When evenly coated, fill 2 rimmed baking sheets with mixture. Bake together at 250 for 15 minutes. When the timer goes off, dump each pan back into the really big bowl to toss it again. Then reverse the pans in the oven and bake 15 more minutes. Bake 1 hour total. We like to put half of the mix from each pan in each massive bowl so everything is mixed as well as possible.

This can be personalized many ways. Change the cereals. Add crackers. Spice it up.
