Ingredients

1/4 cup I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original Stick
3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (not hot sauce, use Tabasco)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's)
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Method

Set your oven to heat to 250*.
Melt the butter with the Tabasco, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder in the microwave. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then pour the melted seasoning mixture over them. Toss thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
Spread the coated mix evenly across two cookie sheets. Place in the oven at 250* and bake for 1 hour. Remember to remove the trays every 15 minutes, give the mix a good toss, and return it to the oven.
Once baked, transfer the hot mix onto paper towels and allow it to cool completely.
Keep the cooled snack mix in an airtight container for storage.
