CLASSIC HOMEMADE NUTS AND BOLTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a very large roaster, combine the cereals, nuts, crackers and pretzels. In microwave (or on stove) melt butter and mix in spices and Worcestershire. Pour over dry ingredients and stir gently to mix thoroughly.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring gently with a spoon every 25 minutes or so.
• The mix will be done when you can see that all of the butter mixture has been absorbed and is dry.

NUTS AND BOLTS

Steps:

• Combine cereals, pretzels and nuts. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in seasonings. Pour over cereal mixture; toss to coat. Spread in an ungreased 15x10-in. rimmed pan. Bake at 250° 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

UNBAKED NUTS & BOLTS

Steps:

• Mix small bowl altogether, stand 2 hours.
• Put in large container, the first 4 ingredients and then add in the ingredients from the small bowl.

CLASSIC 'BACK-TO-BASIC' NUTS AND BOLTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 F, and have 2 oven tray/cookie sheets handy. If your cookie sheets are old and tired, you can line them with parchment paper if you wish.
• Put the dry ingredients into a large vessel. A roasting pan works nicely for size. You're only mixing in, not using the roasting pan for baking.
• Mix the melted butter, garlic salt, celery salt and Worcestershire.
• Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Be sure to mix everything very well - I get in there with my nice, clean hands and toss together thoroughly. At this point you won't see a lot of visible butter sauce coating the dry mix, but the butter mixture will be plentiful and will nicely spread around once baking in the oven.
• Spread the sauce covered nuts and bolts in a single layer on oven trays or cookie sheets and bake for 30 minutes at 250 F while stirring and mixing frequently during baking time. I stir, turn and mix about every 10 minutes during the 30 minute baking time. The dry ingredients will be nicely toasted at the end of baking.
• Remove from the oven, cool and store in airtight containers or Ziploc bags.
• These nuts and bolts are easily frozen if you'd like to make them in advance. Some of my family like to eat them right out of the freezer.
