Ingredients:  
1 Box Rice Chex
1 Box Corn Chex
3/4 Box Wheat Chex
3/4 Box of Cheerios
1/2 Bag of Pretzel Sticks
3/4 Container of Cocktail Peanuts

3/4 Bottle of Worcestershire sauce
Garlic Salt
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan, add sticks of butter, Worcestershire sauce, and a good amount of garlic salt and taste test until seasoned to your liking.

Melt this down together and let cool slightly.

While the sauce cools, get a large roasting pan and combine your dry ingredients and stir well.

A ladle at a time start pouring the butter sauce over the cereal and stir until all of your liquid is combined well.

Put roasting pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Take out of the oven and stir, add a little more garlic salt and reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees and place roasting pan back in oven.

Continue to stir the doo dads about every 30 minutes for 5 hours until cereal is crispy. Add a little garlic salt before stirring every time to ensure everything is seasoned properly.

Once doo dads are crispy they are done...and feel free to taste test as you are cooking throughout the day...it's part of the tradition.

Let cool thoroughly and store in airtight containers.

Personal Notes:
Lois always made this for Christmas Eve and Christmas along with the White Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies. They would be on Mamaw's coffee table for us to snack on until the Lasagna was ready on Christmas Eve or lunch was ready on Christmas day.

Of course, you can use whatever nuts you prefer. Lois would make Hal a batch with cashews instead of the nuts in the recipe.
