Everything Cereal Snack

The “everything” cereal snack recipe gets its name because it has a lot of flexibility. The idea is to be able to mix and match flavors and textures to your liking. The basic blend leans toward the sweet side. So, while a basic recipe is offered below, let’s talk about substitutions and changes.

For a spicier blend: Add ½ tsp. onion powder, ¾ tsp. garlic powder, and 2 Tbs. Worchestershire sauce.

For heat: Substitute Frank’s hot sauce or Sriracha for Worchestershire. Add a sprinkling of chili powder or taco seasoning.

During Grilling Season: Reduce Worshestershire to 1.5 Tbs, then add .5 Tbs. liquid smoke. Sprinkle in some barbecue rub.

Add-ons (savory): Cheese crackers, bagel chips, sesame sticks, Bugles, pecans, crispy bacon bits, powdered cheese, walnuts, cashews.

Add-ons (sweet): M&Ms, mini marshmallows, yogurt covered pretzels, sprinkles, toffy bits, cinnamon bits, coconut, Resees Pieces
