Enjoy this salty, crunchy mix that’s easy to throw together and will be perfect for snacking on through the holidays or any time of year. 
I’m not sure I remember a single Christmas season where my mom’s Nuts and Bolts snack mix weren’t present on the coffee table or kitchen island.
This is the sign of a well used and well loved recipe, isn’t it?
I’ve continued the tradition of making these each Christmas and my kiddies love them. Fortunately for me, while I am busy holiday cooking, my girls can help throw these together for me…with minimal arguing. 
After all the goodies are mixed together, you pour this savory buttery mix all over and give it a gentle stir. 
Baking these Nuts and Bolts for an hour at a low temp makes them even more crispy and full-flavored. They become addicting and you’ll find yourself refilling the bowl over and over again.

My son would love making this he is 4 and loves to help in the kitchen! We will give this a shot Christmas Eve thanks so much for sharing!
That’s sweet! I hope he has fun…my girls love it!
This sounds so good! We make a similar mix every Christmas but with honey.
Yum! I’ll take anything with honey!
Wow this is incredible – I’ve never heard this called “nuts and bolts” before but I LOVE it! Just like Chex Mix, but better!!
Thanks! Isn’t it fun!?
My boys would love this–definitely going to make some for them this week!
Yay! Hope they enjoy it!
Snack mixes and trail mixes are my favorite snacks. I’m so used to buying them that I rarely remember to make them. I’ll have to give this a shot.
Thanks! I get caught up in buying them too but the homemade always is so much better!
This looks so addictively good! Perfect to snack on in sweats or put out for a party. Can’t wait to try it!
That is exactly how we enjoy it…sweats and even dressed up get-togethers!
I would have never guessed the Worcester sauce, interesting addition
Right!? It gives it a little smoky undertone of flavor!
Oh my goodness, I love how much that recipe card has been loved on! I love how much food and flavors bring comfort, especially around the holidays! Holiday food traditions are my favorite!
I agree! Just when I think I should try a new recipe at Christmas, I just can’t escape the good old ones that flood me with memories!
Always a great holiday gift to give!
Fantastic idea!
Doesn’t matter what name it goes by just call it delicious. Great to make and give as gifts and make a double batch for the family.
That’s a wonderful idea to give this as gifts!
Loved your nuts and bolts!!
