Party Mix Made EVEN BETTER !


Sweet & spicy party mix the best party staple for those Holiday parties & sports on TV! I really gave this an overhaul to LIGHTEN this old favorite so you may indulge without all the guilt! I substituted all that butter or margarine with EGG WHITES ! Whooo Hooo & EASY TOO ! SNACK ON FOODIES!                                                                          
6 Egg Whites
3 & 1/2 TBS Water
1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
6 Dashes Red Pepper
4 TBS Season Salt
2 TBS Onion Powder
4 TSP Ground Mustard Powder
2 TBS Garlic Powder
2 TBS Hungarian Sweet Paprika
1/2 Cup Sugar + White Sanding Sugar for sprinkling
4 TBS Parsley Flakes
14 oz. Rice Chex Cereal
14 oz Wheat Chex Cereal
14 oz Multi Bran Chex Cereal
1 LB Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
2 Cups Roasted Mixed Nuts
2 Cups Unsalted Sesame Stix
1 LB Thin Pretzels Sticks
Coarse Sea Salt to Sprinkle
Sanding Sugar to Sprinkle

In a mixing bowl beat egg whites & water until frothy, just enough to break down the egg whites. Add all of your spices & flavorings & beat again to get a froth. In a LARGE  pan  or deep bowl dump in all of your cereals, nuts, pretzels & sesame stix. Stir to mix them . Now beat once more your egg mixture to froth up & pour this over your cereal mixture. Stir well & gently to coat everything. Bake in a 350 degree oven stirring every 15 minutes or so on 4 deep edged baking sheets . Bake until dry & nicely toasted. We like this dark so I bake this about an hour or longer . You might want to only bake this 35 minutes up  to an hour to just nicely toast.Check at each stirring & if this is as dark as you like & cereal is toasted & dry remove from oven. Dump out on to a foil covered surface & sprinkle each sheets batch with a sprinkle of Coarse Sea Salt & White Sanding Sugar, let cool completely before storing in an airtight container ! This makes about 30 Cups of SNACKING JOY !
