How to Make Nuts N Bolts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large roasting pan, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Chex or Rice Krispies) and 2 cups of mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds – your choice!).
  3. In a separate bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted margarine. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder (adjust seasonings to your taste).
  4. Gradually pour the melted margarine mixture over the cereal and nut mixture, stirring constantly until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly in the roasting pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container.
