Nuts and bolts

Every year at Christmas, my husband would get a tin of “nuts and bolts” that a colleague of his would make as a special holiday treat. Invariably, it only lasted a day in our house. When my husband changed schools, I asked his colleague for the recipe. The amounts indicated are only suggestions!

Nuts and bolts
7-8 cups Crispix cereal
3 cups pretzel sticks
4 cups Goldfish crackers
3 cups Cheerios cereal
3 cups Crunchys (or Cheetos)
3-4 cups Ringolos
3 cups Bugles
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 sachet of Ranch seasoning
2 tablespoons dried dill
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Dump all the dry ingredients together, except the bugles, in a clean white garbage bag. Whisk together the oil, garlic powder, ranch seasoning and dill into the vegetable and pour over the ingredients in the bag. Knot the bag closed and gently turn and shake it around to distribute the oil and seasonings. Place all or half the amount in a rotisserie pan and cook it at 200C for thirty minutes, mixing halfway through. Once removed from the oven, add the bugles.
