Per-ingredient cost is the amount this recipe uses at the lowest Canadian price we have on file; the per-serving total above adds the range up to the dearest price and for buying whole packages.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 95C (200F). In a large roasting pan, mix together the Cheerios, Shreddies, pretzel sticks and peanuts. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, onion salt and garlic salt, and then pour over dry ingredients. Mix well and then bake for 90 minutes, stirring every 30 minutes. Cool completely, and then store in airtight containers in a cool place.
2. Tester's notes: Over the years, Carol has cut down the amount of oil to 250 ml (1 cup). She counsels against using generic cereals. (And do watch out for all those Vanilla/Honey-Nut/Maple-Berry variations now crowding the cereal aisle: You need plain Cheerios and Shreddies.)
