I made this on 12/11/12,but due to lack of items on hand, the recipe was slightly altered. They are as follows: 3 cups each of Corn and Rice Chex,1 1/2 cups goldfish crackers,1 cup of slightly crushed waffle shaped pretzels,and a 14 ounce can mixed nuts. For the seasonings: 1 1/2 Tblsp. Worcetershire sauce, 6 Tblsps. stick margarine 1 1/2 tsp. smoky flavored seasoning salt, 3/4 tsp. garlic powder,1/2 tsp. each of the onion and chili powder. And I left out the bite-size garlic chips. And the dry ingredients were mixed in a large bowl, And after melting the margarine, all the seasoning were mixed in well, then poured over the cereal. But instead of using the microwave, everything was poured into a 9 in. x 13 in. which had been sprayed with a cooking spray. Then it was baked at 325 degrees for 45 minutes and stirred every 15 minutes. Even though this isn't the Original 1956 version of the Party Mix, it was still very good. Thank you for posting a recipe that will be made again, and " Keep Smiling :) "

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot.
I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own.
As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters.
My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there.
Now I run my own catering Buisness.
I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three.
We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me.
I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them
My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200.
Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes..
