* 1/2 cup margarine
* 2 tablespoons Tabasco
* 1 heaping teaspoon chili powder (with salt)



1 Mix together the cereals, pretzels and peanuts in a large roasting pan and set aside.
2 Melt together the bacon grease, margarine and Tabasco and stir into the dry ingredients. Sprinkle on the chili powder and stir again.
