In 1952, Ralston Purina first published a recipe for its now-famous Chex™ party mix as an advertisement in Life magazine. Although few people now make Chex™ mix (or any party mix) from scratch — especially since the advent of a pre-packaged version in 1985 — in this Iron Ladle Challenge, Erin, Sarah and Rachel are bringing back homemade party mixes. With fun add-ins like Goldfish crackers and Sriracha, a preponderance of butter, and cups (and cups) of dry cereal, these fresh takes on classic recipes will inspire both nostalgia and creativity — just in time for the holiday season. Erin's Spicy Sweet Tropical Party Mix Makes enough to fill 1 extra-large jade green Tupperware container (274-12) from the 80's. Combine in a very large bowl: 9 c assorted Chex™ cereals 3 c Bugles 2 c lightly salted peanuts 1.5 c small pretzels 2 c banana chips Heat in a small saucepan: 12 T butter 6 T Worcestershire sauce ½ c honey ½ c sriracha 1 t garlic powder 2 t salt When the butter is melted, transfer to a jar with a secure lid and shake well to fully combine the WORSHUSHER and sriracha with the melted butter. Pour the about a third of the liquid gold over the dry ingredients and stir gently, but thoroughly. Pour another portion of the tasty goodness over the cereal and such and stir. Finally, pour the last of the molten flavor over the crunchy bits and stir well, but don't crush the mixture. Spread the buttery mix onto two large cookie sheets. Bake at 275° for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. After 45 minutes, stir once more and increase to 325° and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. The mix will crisp up as it cools. It will fit perfectly in your grandmother's big green Tupperware container. Optional: if your party people enjoy spice, you can sprinkle on some chili powder or cayenne when it finishes baking. But use caution. There are no takebacks with cayenne. Rachel's Kid-Friendly Party Mix View this image of the original Chex™ Mix on the Wheat Chex™ box! The Original Chex™ Party Mix | Nuts and Bolts Snack Mix Recipe Adjustments: Remove peanuts and/or mixed nuts. Half of my kids don't see the point. Replace with Goldfish crackers. Add 1 cup parmesan crisps. (So good, especially when baked with Worcestershire sauce.) Replace bagel chips/rye chips with oyster crackers (regrettably), since my local grocery doesn't sell these items separately from premade party mixes.* Note for next time: Increase the butter. Maybe even double it. *This wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be. If I do this again and still can't find bagel chips, I'll just swap in an extra cup of Chex™, or try a different add-in altogether. Sarah's Puppy Chow Party Mix My inspiration is from this recipe from Bon Appetit: bonappetit.com/recipe/puppy-chow-party-mix Yield Makes about 5 quarts (YES FIVE QUARTS) Ingredients 1 12-ounce box Rice Chex™ cereal (about 10 cups) 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), chopped (about 1¼ cups) ¾ cup creamy peanut butter ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter 1½ teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2½ cups powdered sugar, divided Add-ins 2 cups rye chips 2 cups butterscotch chips 2 cups thin pretzel sticks Directions Place cereal in a large bowl. Heat chocolate, peanut butter, butter, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal and toss with 2 spoons or spatulas until coated. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Transfer cereal mixture to a large clean bowl (so powdered sugar doesn't absorb into chocolate coating from original bowl). Sift ½ cup powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve onto cereal, coating entire surface. Toss to coat. Repeat 2 more times. Transfer cereal mixture to 2 parchment-lined sheet trays, spreading evenly. Sift ½ cup powdered sugar over both trays (do not mix). Chill 2 hours or let sit at room temperature overnight (break into individual pieces, but leave some clumps, if sitting out overnight). Transfer cereal mixture and powdered sugar from sheet trays to a large clean bowl and toss to coat. Sift remaining ½ cup powdered sugar over and toss to coat again. Add rye chips, butterscotch chips, and pretzels; toss to combine. Do Ahead: Puppy chow can be made 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room-temperature.

We’re waxing nostalgic for a time before half the things in our kitchens were covered in paraffin. Why, you ask? Because we made candles! Stupid, barely scented, fifty dollar candles. We never promised you a rose garden (scented candle) and we never promised you we’d actually succeed at half the shit we do for this show! But we can laugh at our failures, right? Or at least you all can! In addition to our adventures with wax, Alissa figured out the recipe for full box Chex mix, Liz’s vision board continues to bring the hits, Liz’s daughter discovered the wonders of self-rising flour and we learn that we are pretty clueless as to the size of an acre. The Basic B-swax 1.5 cups of strawberry purée (purée strawberries in a blender with a splash of water) 1/4 cup honey simple syrup (equal parts honey and water, heated until honey dissolves) Juice of one lime 3 oz gin 16 oz ice 1/4 tsp habanero salt Combine all ingredients in a blender and whiz it up! Makes two drinks. Full Box Chex Mix Use a full regular size box each of Wheat Chex, Corn Chex and Rice Chex, about 3 cups pretzel sticks and 3 cups nuts. Ingredients for the “juice” are as follows: One lb of butter 10 Tbs Worcestershire 7.5 tsp season salt 3.75 tsp garlic powder 2.5 tsp onion powder Use instructions from the original recipe to make mix. (But don’t follow the microwave directions, make it in the oven. You’re better than that!) Shitty candles in the making Liz's misguided attempt at making bloody mary scented oil The Christmas Candle (SNL sketch) Candle Making Supplies Hey! Give us a call and tell us something awesome!
