This was a good base recipe for me, but I prefer something with more spice to it. The spices together I found nice, but just not spicy enough, so I upped the Tabasco to 3 teaspoons, the Worcestershire sauce to 4 tablespoons and about 1 teaspoon of red cayenne pepper and I still didn't find it very hot or spicy. But I am definitley going to keep this recipe as a base and just adjust the spices according to my tastes.

This is good, although it needed more spice for my tastes. I will keep the recipe but will add more hot sauce or something, needs to be tweeked.

This snack is so good! I really like that the spice is just right...not too hot and not too bland. Perfect! I can't wait to make this again, esepcially when the holidays come around. Thank you for sharing your recipe Bonnie!

Made this today and we loved it. Family said it needed a little bit more worcestershire and a little bit more red pepper, but that is our preference. We will be making more of this this holiday season. Thanks for posting!!

My family loves this mix! I add goldfish and I use honey chex. I take it to barbeques and give some out with gifts, and I have had oodles of requests for the recipe. It's easy to make, too!
