Every holiday season Nancy makes gorp. I bought all the gluten free products at the commissary and she got vegan Worcestershire sauce on line… my lunch.

G.O.R.P. - how we used to refer to Good Old Raisins and Peanuts when we were in Girl Scouts. Everyone from the Girl Scouts, to the Boy Scouts, to the Swedes, to a pair of California hikers takes credit for inventing it. Whatever its origins or the recipe, it's hard to beat!
We call that Nuts and Bolts. Gorp is as SS described, but I think we added M & M's.
I haven't made Nuts and Bolts in a couple of years, because I'm addicted to it and have trouble stopping eating 2 huge roasting pans of it. I might make it this year, though.

That was the name that stuck in my head. My late father in law called it “junk”.
my thinks she has to vacuum pack everything now. It started making popping sounds as did this so it will be interesting to see how crushed this is.

Is this the basic Chex party mix recipe?
You mentioned using Worcestershire sauce.

GORP is just another name for Trail Mix. There is no recipe. You just mix up whatever you have. Peanuts, raisins, cheerios, and m&ms are pretty standard. But any nuts, dried fruits, chocolate bits, small cereal, small crackers, coconut, etc, are often used. You just dump stuff in a baggie and take it with you for a high energy snack.
Johnny's wife made Chex Mix - the classic from the box. I'm sure you've seen that recipe before.

Landolakes.com has the original recipe in their Recipes file. My wife throws it together with what she likes. This year everything was gluten free and I know there was no butter in it. She used ghee…

How long did she bake it for? 1 hour seems like a long time.
That's the recipe that I have used too, and it works. You have to remember that it's low oven temp and you're stirring it ever 15 minutes.
We have a thread on the Chex Mix. MmmmMMMM! Pictures, too!

She microwaved it five to six minuets and stirred every two… directions are on the box.
