what's cooking wendesday - chex mix

So I made chex mix on the weekend. It was way easier than I thought it was going to be.

I didn't take a picture because it's chex mix. I think we all know what it looks like.

Buffalo Chex Mix

4 cups rice chex
4 cups wheat chex
2 cups parmesan flavoured crackers
2 cups pretzels
6 tbsp butter
2 1/2 tbsp hot sauce
1 packet ranch dressing mix
2 tsp celery seed

In a large microwaveable bowl mix cereals, crackers and pretzels. In a small bowl microwave butter until melted, stir in the hot sauce, ranc sesoning mix and celery seed. Pour over the cereal mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Microwave uncovered on high for 4 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in an air tight container.

Recipe: Well I felt kind of meh about this, but Mike and Maya both really liked it. I used Frank's Buffalo Sauce instead of straight up hot sauce. I thought this needed more of that buffalo wing flavour, but Mike thought it had just enough. Next time I would leave out the celery, maybe throw in some cheese nips. Oh and cut back on the chex. We both thought the chex to everything else ratio was way off.



What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page.

*All front page links will be deleted!*
*Posts that aren't linked back will be deleted*
*Posts that don't include some sort of a recipe will be deleted*

Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday

Hi,
I shared my amazing GF Cocoa Butter Layer Cake with a how to video. I also shared an article about the disturbing Runaway GM Canola Plants found on the side of roads!
