How to Make Seashells Nuts And Bolts

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large roasting pan, combine 10 cups of your favorite cereal (such as Cheerios, Rice Chex, or a similar variety).
  3. In a separate bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Gradually drizzle the melted butter and spice mixture over the cereal, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Mix thoroughly until the cereal is completely coated and well blended.
  6. Spread the cereal mixture in a single layer in the roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the Seashells, Nuts, and Bolts cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. This allows for even crisping and prevents sogginess.
  8. Once completely cool, stir again gently to break up any clumps. Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
