Not Your Usual Party Mix

I've worked at an elementary school for years. One of our dear 4th grade teachers would bring this party mix into the staff room on occasion. We would all hover around the bowl like vultures.

Ingredients

• 15  ounces  crispy rice cereal, squares

Directions

1. Combine cereal, crackers, pretzels and peanuts in a large roaster. (This makes a lot.) Combine oil and salad dressing in a small bowl. Mix well. Toss with cracker mixture until evenley coated.
