Party Mix Recipe (Low Fat, Diabetic)

Ingredients:

1/2 c. margarine 1 tsp. garlic powder 2 c. unsalted pretzels 2 c. puffed rice 2 c. spoon-size shredded wheat 2 c. unsalted peanuts

Method:

Melt margarine in skillet or wok. Add garlic powder. Stir. Add remaining ingredients and toss together. Serve warm. Makes 2 quarts. Vary the cereals, choosing ones which are salt free. Walnuts and pecans may be used in place of peanuts since a handful of peanuts has 500 calories. 1 cup raisins may also be added but omit garlic powder. Oven instructions: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Bake party mix a total of 45 minutes. Stir twice during that time period.
