SCRAMBLE
When Mom makes this, she uses about 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce. Check it out.
In this recipe everything is approximate
2 pounds of salted nuts
12 ounce package Shreddies
10.5 ounce package Rice Squares
10.5 ounce package Cheerios
5.5 ounce package of pretzel thins
4.5 ounce can pretzel bits
2 cups salad oil
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp. garlic salt
1 Tbsp. seasoned salt
Put this in a large roaster (I use both the lid and the base separately), and mix well. Then into a 250F oven for about 2 hours. This should be stirred about every 20 minutes or so.
REVISED NUTS AND BOLTS
Turn the oven on to 250F
Put 3/4 c. margarine in a larger roasting pan and melt in the oven
Add the following ingredients and stir:
3 Tbsp. Worcestshire
1 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 1/2 tsp. celery salt
1 1/2 tsp. onion salt
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
Now add the following and stir gently to coat:
3 cups Cheerios
4 cups Krispex
4 cups thin pretzels
4 cups Original Bugles
Cook for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
NUTS AND BOLTS (microwave)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup margarine
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. celery salt
2 cups each of peanuts, pretzels, Cheerios, and Shreddies
1 1/2 T Worcestershire Sauce
Micro cook the margarine, paprika, garlic salt, celery salt, and Worcestershire Sauce in a bowl on high power for one minute. Stir the mixture. Drizzle this mixture over the peanuts, pretzels, Cheerios, and Shreddies until they are well coated. Spread this mixture in a long shallow pan. Micro cook on high power for about 3 minutes. Do not overcook as the pretzels brown quickly. [3 minutes is suggested in the recipe. I have found that 5 to 6 is a better approximation]
POURING CUSTARD
Ingredients:
1 pint (2 1/2 cups) milk
1 Tbsp. sugar
3 eggs
Heat the milk until just below the boiling point. In a large measuring cup mix the eggs and sugar. Add a portion of the hot milk to the eggs, stirring constantly. Then pour everything back into the pot with the rest of the milk. Heat until the custard will coat the back of a spoon. Use this hot or cold.
