Fish ‘n Bits

Serves 22 cups

Ingredients

  • 1lb butter
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 Tsp celery salt
  • 1 1/2 Tsp ground white pepper (can substitute with 1 1/2 tsp onion powder)
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 Cups Rice Chex
  • 8 Cups pretzels
  • 4 Cups plain Cheerios
  • 4 Cups Shreddies
  • 1 Box (pkg) plain Cheese Bits
  • 1 Box (pkg) plain Gold Fish
  • 1 Box (pkg) plain Bugles
  • 2 Very large tin foil roasting pans (or very large metal roaster)

Directions

Heat the oven to 250 deg F. Place butter in a very large roaster and put in the oven to melt the butter while the oven is preheating. Once all the butter has melted, add the garlic powder, celery salt, white pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly.

Meanwhile measure all the dry ingredients together and mix. Add all at once to the melted butter and stir well to coat evenly. Since the pan will be quite full, it is good to use to tin foil large roasters and empty the one roaster into the other to help to mix the ingredients. This prevents the bottom ingredients from picking up to much of the butter mixture.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Alternate between the 2 roasting pans every 30 minutes. (or if using one very large roaster, then just stir every 30 minutes.
