LOW CARB CHEX MIX RECIPE

Ok, I've been thinking about this for some time and never have gotten around to actually trying this recipe out. My husband LOVES Chex party mix. I mean loves it. Of course he misses it and for Thanksgiving I make him a small traditional batch. He pays for it weight wise but he knows it's going to happen and is ok with that. But pretty much everything can be made over low carb wise. So I thought lets give it a try. So I did---SUCCESS!

1 CUP PLAIN PECANS
1 1/2 C PLAIN ALMONDS
1 1/2 C PLAIN WALNUTS
1 C PLAIN SPANISH PEANUTS
1 STICK SALTED BUTTER
3 TBS WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
2 TSP SEASONED SALT (LAWRY'S)
3/4 TSP GARLIC POWDER
3/4 TSP ONION POWDER

Melt butter in a microwavable dish-8x8 is nice. Mix in all the seasonings and stir really well. Then add all the nuts. Mix again all very well and put in microwave uncovered for 3 min on high. Stir and cook another 3 min. Then take out and spread out on wax paper and let cool completely.
Then store in airtight container. This tastes best the next day when it's had time to set.

ENJOY---MY HUSBAND GAVE IT 2 THUMBS UP....as he was chewing.
