PARTY MIX
1/2 c. margarine
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 c. unsalted pretzels
2 c. puffed rice
2 c. spoon-size shredded wheat
2 c. unsalted peanuts
Melt margarine in skillet or wok. Add garlic powder. Stir. Add remaining ingredients and toss together. Serve warm. Makes 2 quarts. Vary the cereals, choosing ones which are salt free. Walnuts and pecans may be used in place of peanuts since a handful of peanuts has 500 calories. 1 cup raisins may also be added but omit garlic powder. Oven instructions: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Bake party mix a total of 45 minutes. Stir twice during that time period.
