T.V. Party Mix

"I usually mix a total of 12 cups of dry ingredients, depending on what I am hungry for. Sometimes I add more as it cooks. When I was growing up we only had this at Christmas time. One year my cat, "Fritz Montgomery Jackson" jumped on the table while the party mix was drying and mom and I were visiting granddad at the hospital. We managed to save most of it along with Fritz."
