Scramble (Chex mix that's actually good)

For as long as I can remember the arrival of grandma's scramble was the herald of the holiday season.  It's really nothing more than a seasoned mix of nuts and cereal, but the end result is dangerously addictive.



2 lbs. mixed nuts, whatever your favorites are
24 oz of Chex (I use a mix of corn and rice, but using wheat for up to half also works)
6 oz Cheerios (I used to say not honey nut, but I find the salty sweet actually works)
12 oz pretzel sticks

Mix the following together:
2 C vegetable oil
3 T Worcestershire sauce
2 T onion salt, or a mixture of onion powder and salt
2 T garlic salt, or a mixture of garlic powder and salt



Pour the oil mixture over dry ingredients above in large roasting pan; the contents of the oil will settle, so stir frequently while pouring.  Bake at 250 degrees for two hours.  Stirring every 15 minutes.  You can also do this in a large stock pot which would allow you to just hold the lid on and shake it.
