I love Christmas and the idea of planning and preparing for it all year long! Here's where I'll post recipes, gift and craft ideas, and random thoughts from my Christmas kitchen.

"Bessie's Chex Mix"
Here is one of the recipes mentioned in the previous post. Tomorrow I'll plan to share my grandmother's hot chocolate mix, which is quite a bit different from mine.
"BESSIE'S MIX"
As mentioned previously, I've been unable to locate the exact recipe Bessie used. What I've done is to cobble together a couple of recipes from the 1950s that hopefully taste like what I remember.
2 cups Corn Chex 2 cups Rice Chex 2 cups Wheat Chex 2 cups Cheerios 2 cups thin short pretzel sticks 3/4 cup salted peanuts 1/2 cup melted butter 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Preheat oven to 250°. Mix cereals, pretzels and peanuts together in a large bowl. Combine the melted butter and seasonings; pour over cereal mixture and toss all together to mix very well. Spread cereal mixture on a baking sheet or in a 13x9-inch pan. Bake mixture for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread mix on paper towels to cool before serving or packaging.
Transfer mix to Con-Tact™-paper-covered cans with lids -- like coffee cans or peanut cans. Give a tin of mix to everyone on your Christmas list.

I live in scenic northern New England with my handsome husband. We're empty-nesters with a bunch of adorable grandchildren. We love (tent) camping and traveling, but don't get away as often as we'd like to.
