Matty's Chex Mix

This is my famous Matty's Chex Mix. The recipe below is good for a large party, but I usually cut everything in half when I make it so there isn't so much of it left over.


Ingredients:

1 of a Box of Rice Chex
1 of a Box of Cheez-It
1 of a Bag of Pretzels
1 16oz Can of Peanuts
1 16oz Can of Cashews
2 Sticks of Butter
8 tbs of Olive Oil
2 tbs of Garlic Powder
2 tbs of Oregano
2 tsp of Basil

Directions:

- Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
- Mix the Rice Chex, Cheez-It, Pretzels, and Mixed Nuts into a large bowl and mix up.
- Melt butter with olive oil in microwave.
- Mix in garlic powder, oregano, basil, and any other spices you want into the melted butter and olive oil.
- Pour melted butter and spices onto the chex mix and stir untill butter is evenly mixed in.
- Put chex mix into baking pan and bake in oven for 10 to 15 mins or until cheez-it is browned some.
- Let cool and enjoy.

Side note: after you put the chex mix in the oven you have a lot of yummy garlic butter on the inside of you bowl. take a piece of bread and get some of that butter to have a quick garlic bread. That is one of the perks of being the cook, you get to lick the bowl. hehe.
