Add Something New To The Mix
(NAPSA) - Add a little something new to "the Mix." Stir together new versions of this family favorite snack to serve when you entertain friends and family. Or pack your special recipe in a unique container to give as a gift.
For a festive flair with the tart flavor of cranberries, try the Holiday Mix. Young Chex Mix eaters will enjoy Horns & Drums. A fun-shaped snack replaces the nuts in this version and microwave directions make it easier for kid cooks to help in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 6 Tbsp. margarine or butter*
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt

Variations
Holiday Mix: Use pretzels in holiday shapes and stir in 1 cup dried cranberries before serving.
Horns & Drums: Omit nuts. Use pretzel sticks and bagel chips to resemble "drums and drumsticks." Stir in 1 cup Bugles snack for the "horns."
Microwave Directions
Melt margarine in large uncovered microwavable bowl on High. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.
