Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed. Add half of the melted butter mixture to the cereal mixture. Gently and thoroughly fold to combine. Add the rest of the melted butter mixture and stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Divide the mixture evenly across the prepared pans. Bake, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes, until crisp and slightly darkened in color, about 1 hour. Cool completely on the pans on wire racks before serving, if you can wait that long. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Recipe by Margaux Laskey Recipe FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
