Makes 20 cups

7.5 ounce bag bugles crispy corn snacks

4 cups pretzle sticks

4 cups rice Chex

2 cups Cheez It crackers

1 1/2 cups pecan halves

3/4 cup butter

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 cups Valentine M & M’s

1 cup corn nuts

1cup Valentine candy corns

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.  Have ready: 2 ungreased, rimmed baking pans and two large rubber spatulas.

2. In an extra large mixing bowl, mix the bugles, pretzels, rice Chex, Cheez it crackers and pecans. Set aside.

3. In a medium sauce on medium-low heat, add the butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne and cook until the butter is melted. Stir until well blended

4. Pour the sauce over the mix in the bowl and immediately toss with the two spatulas until all the pieces are coated, about 1 minute. Be sure to stir from the bottom to coat all pieces evenly. 

5. Spread the mixture evenly among the 2 baking sheets. 

6. Bake, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed, cereal and crackers are crispy and browned in spots, about 30 minutes. The mixture will get even crispier when cooled.

7. Remove from oven, stir the cereal mixture in each pan, and let sit in pan until completely cool, about 30 minutes 

8. When completely cool in an extra large mixing bowl, combine baked mixture with the M&M’s, corn nuts, and candy corns. Store at room temperature in and air tight container.  Alternately fill jars or gift bags for a delicious edible gift.
