Categories: Grains, Nuts, Breads, Chilies
     Yield: 15 Cups

     9 c  Rice, corn or wheat Chex or
          - Crispix cereal; or a
          - combination
     2 c  Lightly salted nuts
     2 c  Small pretzels
     3 c  Add-ins, such as cheese
          - crackers, rice crackers,
          - bagel chips, sesame sticks
          - in any combination
   1/2 c  Unsalted butter
     2 tb Worcestershire sauce
     2 tb Hot sauce; more to taste
     1 ts Garlic powder; more to
          - taste
     1 ts Onion powder; more to taste
   1/4 ts Sweet or smoked paprika
 1 1/2 ts Fine sea salt
   1/4 ts Black pepper; more to taste

 Arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven
 and heat to 250 F/120 C. Line two sheet pans with
 parchment paper.

 Combine cereal, nuts, pretzels and add-ins in a very
 large bowl. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt
 butter in the microwave in 20-second increments, about 1
 minute. (You can also do this in a small saucepan over
 low heat on the stovetop.) Add Worcestershire sauce, hot
 sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and
 pepper. Stir until well mixed.

 Add half of the melted butter mixture to the cereal
 mixture. Gently and thoroughly fold to combine. Add the
 rest of the melted butter mixture and stir until evenly
 coated. Taste and adjust seasonings.

 Divide the mixture evenly across the prepared pans.
 Bake, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes,
 until crisp and slightly darkened in color, about 1
 hour. Cool completely on the pans on wire racks before
 serving (if you can wait that long). Store in an
 airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
