While searching for photos on an old external hard drive last weekend, I unearthed some precious Ron (also known as Bishop Stu Tu, the Candy Man, and the man with whom I secure hoagies and miracle ham) video footage. It seems I totally forgot about a few videos we shot in 2009 while I was home visiting for the holidays. Ladies and gents, this footage simply can not stay hidden away….no sirree bob, so I put together a little holiday ditty for you all. Let us all experience the Candy Man again, this time sharing his coveted, secret chex mix recipe. I promise, you will never go back to noshing on regular ol’ chex mix again. Happy Holidays!
Studio R Chex Mix
1/4 stick (2 Tbsp) butter or margarine
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
1 tsp garlic powder
5 Tbsp Light Karo Syrup
4 cups Rice Chex
4 cups Corn Chex
2 cups Wheat Chex
1 1/2 cups stick pretzels
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
3/4 cup mixed nuts
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup sesame sticks
cayenne pepper, to taste
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees
2. Mix the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to boil and then simmer over low-medium heat.
3. Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl.
3. Drizzle sauce over dry ingredients while tossing to coat evenly.
4. Spread mixture over 2 large cookie sheets. Lightly sprinkle with cayenne pepper. (Very lightly!)
5. Cook at 250 degrees for 75 minutes. Halfway through cooking, toss the mixture a little bit so it won’t stick.
Enjoy!!
(Dad, I will be home in 36 hours. Please have chex mix waiting. Love, your wonderful daughter.)
Love it! Love the Candy Man – Merry Christmas to you & your family!!
Ooooh….I may have to try this tomorrow…recipe looks yum! Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
So now we all need to know what a Tia Maria is so we can have that much fun in the kitchen!
im making this! and i love the part where your dad drops the syrup. hahah!!
OMG – Love your Mom and Dad’s kitchen (and the recipe too)!
PS – Your dad is rad : )
LOL
This is the definition of too much fun. You guys are adorable.
Sarah, your dad is awesome. Tia Maria should be paying him! Ha.
Oh, Y’ALL. I’m kind of in love with you two. And I may have GLUTTED myself on chex mix this week, but I might have to get some of that together now that I have seen this. Good Lord, girl! What are you doing to me?
One thing I love about the videos of you and your dad is that your oklahoma accent is more apparent! All the “wh-” words are pronounced like “hw-”. “Hwite”, “Cool hwip”….hehe. Reminds me of that joke on Family Guy!
From the “Bishop Stu Tu” post, “I managed to wreck all three of the family’s cars in a 48-hour period.” – that must be a great story, do tell!
Your video makes me want to take fun videos of family and friends in regular life. I love it!
