    YOU MUST MAKE THIS RECIPE!!!! Forget about that store-bought stuff. This recipe is so simple and soooo addicting. Do you make Nuts & Bolts at your house? If so, how does your recipe differ?

      Have you ever tried to make a Yule log (chocolate). When I was a kid, I always wanted to and never did until I was in my 30s, then I did it quite frequently. It's one of those things you get better at the more you do it.
      Some other recipes I've always wanted to try are sponge toffee, peanut brittle and black licorice, I don't think they're too difficult I just haven't got around to it. Another I want to try is homemade marshmallows, I was trying to make divinity fudge a couple of times and neither worked. One time the final result was Fluff, the other time it was nougat, I suppose if I tried a third time I'd get marshmallow, which is just about in the middle :) The mistake I made was using spreadable margarine from a tub (too much water) you should use butter or the old time margarine

    My family has been making this since the 1950s. No oil though, always butter! Thanks for sharing!

      I remember my great-great-aunt bringing this to hour house at the holidays. I've always loved it. And butter.....wow! What is the quantity? I may have to give your version a try when we make it AGAIN this weekend! LOL

    • @sassyt1545

      WELCOME TO MY CURLS 1 and 1/2 sticks butter, melted (3/4 cup). Use salted butter. Butter is the only way to go. I think you will love it.

      We always use butter! Sooo good! Plus I add extra Worcestire sauce with every toss.

    My mom has always made this every year for as long as I can remember. around the holidays. She uses butter instead of oil. My family calls it Chex Mix and we all love it!

    We had the same Christmas tradition making Nuts and Bolts (that's what we also called them) on the east coast of Canada. You have basically the same recipe, except when I was a kid (I'm older than you) we used Shreddies. Later, I found that Chex worked better as they held more flavour. I think peanuts (or other nuts) in the recipe is the best part because of the different chewy crunch compared to the other ingredients. I think making brown butter (what we used) would enhance the flavour moreso than oil. We would put the butter and fresh garlic in a large Dutch oven to infuse before adding the mix. I think it adds more depth. of flavour I was never a big fan of pretzels but they are part of the traditional basic recipe we both used. Some good addons are BBQ Ringolos (not sure what their US equivalent is), broken up Doritos, a small crunchy Cheezie (Cheetos?), BBQ Fritos and Bugles (not all at once) :) When done we would store them in large glass pickle jars my brother got from the tavern next door.

    I love making this anytime , but more so during the holidays (Christmas and New Years). Most recipes I have found do not have shreddies, I use them as well, they really hold onto the worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion powder

    We always made Chex Mix, using butter, peanuts, Worcestershire, & seasoned salt. Can't imagine it with oil. I think I'll use cashews & add some hot sauce to my chex mix next time. Sounds delicious.

    Oh girl. You ain’t a kiddin’! My first ever shot at Nuts & Bolts is on their last 30min in the oven and my house smells amazing. I can’t wait to snack on this….tomorrow when I finally break my fast. 😂. I only had garlic powder 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I added 1/2t of salt….fingers crossed but I’m guessing it’ll still be alright. 😉

    Thanks for this recipe, will try. I also see peanuts and cashews. How much of the nuts do you use?

    • @WelcomeToMyCurls
      @WelcomeToMyCurls  Год назад

      I just eyeball it honestly.....but if I had to estimate, it's probably 1/3 cup of cashews/nuts

    @kittybeck151 10 месяцев назад

    I like this healthier version, not too much oil & no animal fat. Instead of hot sauce, could I use chili powder or paprika? I don't like "hot."
