In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Hot and Spicy Peanuts. These are great for a game day party, or just for munching on while watching a movie. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil 2 cups unsalted peanuts (You may use other types of nuts, if you prefer.) 2 teaspoons chili powder ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper ½ teaspoon garlic salt In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups unsalted peanuts, 2 teaspoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons chili powder, and ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper. Mix until all peanuts are well-coated. Place in a single layer in a 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch Pyrex dish. Bake in a 300-degree oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon garlic salt (or more) over peanuts, and toss to combine. Drain peanuts on paper towels, and add a little more garlic salt, if desired. Cool completely before serving. You may store these in a tightly covered container at room temperature. These are hot and flavorful; you may adjust the seasonings to your own taste. Enjoy!!! –Betty

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a beautiful and delectable Saucy Party Dip. Its great for a sports party, for an appetizer, or just for snacking! Ingredients: 8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature 2 tablespoons milk 1/3 cup bottled French dressing 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup 2 teaspoons grated onion ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ¼ teaspoon garlic salt Gradually add 2 tablespoons milk to an 8 oz. package of cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature, add 1/3 cup bottled French dressing, 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, 2 teaspoons grated onion, ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and ¼ teaspoon garlic salt.

Betty’s 1952 Original Chex Party Mix Recipe
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make the Original Chex Party Mix, a recipe that first appeared in the June 16, 1952 issue of Life magazine. Chex cereal was introduced in 1937 by the Ralston Purina Company, and the Original Chex Party Mix was used to promote it 15 years later. This has been a favorite snack over the years, even though the recipe has evolved through the decades, with at least 40 current versions available from General Mills, the maker of Chex cereal. I thought you might be interested in how it all began, by looking at the *first* recipe for Chex Party Mix! Ingredients: 1/3 cup butter 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 cups Wheat Chex 2 cups Rice Chex ½ cup nuts ¼ teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt Melt 1/3 cup butter in a shallow baking pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Add 2 cups Wheat Chex, 2 cups Rice Chex, and ½ cup nuts. (I used peanuts.) Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt. Heat for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven, stirring every 10 minutes. (Note: After baking for the first 10 minutes, I lowered the heat to 250 degrees, and after the second 10 minutes, I removed the Party Mix from the oven. The Chex Mix would have been over-brown, if I had left it the full 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I suggest you bake this mix at only 250 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.) Cool. (Note: I stored my Chex Party Mix in an airtight container after it was cool.) This is an interesting look back at a very …
