How To Make julia's extra special holiday chex mix

  • Step 1
    Fry bacon until it's nice and crisp. 1 lb. of bacon will yield between 1/3 to 1/2 c of drippings. It depends on the bacon you use.
  • Step 2
    Place cooked bacon in a container and reserve it for another use. It's the leftover drippings you're after.
  • Step 3
    Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Step 4
    Melt the butter and bacon drippings together in a saucepan, then stir in the seasonings to make a nice, buttery mix.
  • Step 5
    In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and gradually stir in the buttery seasoning mix until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Step 6
    Spread on a cookie sheet and bake for 1 hr, turning every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towel to cool.
