I found this recipe many years ago in a Ronald McDonald House cookbook. It is one of my most requested snacks when entertaining. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as we do.

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 oz) box corn chex
  • 1 (18 oz) box wheat chex
  • 1 (18 oz) box rice chex
  • 1 (16 oz) package pretzels (tiny twists)
  • 1 pound pecans, halved
  • 1 pound whole cashews
  • 1 pound salted butter (not margarine)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons worcestshire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 ounces accent
  • 4 tablespoons allspice
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder

How To Make texas trash

  • Step 1
    Mix the corn chex, rice chex, wheat chex, pretzels, pecans, and cashews in a large plastic bag. Divide mixture into two 1 gallon roaster pans and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large saucepan, over medium heat, combine the butter, oil, worcestershire sauce, celery salt, accent, allspice, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well. This does not need to come to a boil. Just stir and heat.
  • Step 3
    Add the seasoning mixture to the dry mixture and blend very well. Cook at 200 degrees for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. This yields 4 gallons.
  • Step 4
    NOTE: I found that using a Nesco or other electric roaster pan works just as well. I mix all the dry ingredients in that and then stir in the wet mixture.
