The Ultimate Nuts & Bolts Recipe

Post divider

Nuts & Bolts are up there on the list of ultimate holiday snacks. I have so many memories of being at family parties growing up, just standing around the snack table SHOVELING Nuts & Bolts into my face. Shout out to family friend Rob Billard who is a master on the grill and also makes the best Nuts & Bolts in the land!

This recipe is crazy easy. Literally, anyone can make these. There is very little “cooking” involved at all so don’t feel intimidated – give this one a go. They are the perfect gift to bring to a party (Maybe next year?) or to drop off at your neighbour’s house.

What I Put in My Nuts & Bolts

  • Shreddies- Personally, these are number one for me. I find they soak up the melted butter and spices so well and are top dog in the mix – in my opinion.
  • Cheerios- Another great addition to the mixture.
  • Pretzels – An absolute must-have, but feel free to choose the shape that best suits you!
  • Goldfish- I used goldfish as we have then in our house, but feel free to use cheese-its as they are awesome as well.
  • Roasted peanuts
  • Melted butter
  • Spices- I used garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sugar, salt. Feel free to get creative here!

  5. Place the roasting pan into the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, tossing the mixture with a spatula every 25 minutes.
  6. After the mixture is done baking, remove pan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Now, eat!
