Mrs Mason's Nuts and Bolts

[cookie1]

Mrs Mason's Nuts and Bolts:
Number of People: lots
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Packet French onion soup
Packet cream of chicken soup
2 dessertspoons curry powder
375g mixed nuts or peanuts
300g nutri grain (290g now packet size has changed)

Preparation:
Place oil into bowl and heat to 50 degrees. Put into a large bowl. Add other ingredients and stir well. I leave this and keep stirring it every time I go near it. When oil seems absorbed and it is well mixed place in an air tight container.

Tips/Hints:
this is made from lots of pre fab stuff but we like it. I was given it many many years ago by the then owners of the Monkey Mia caravan park. Before it was a resort.

Tips from members
Chookie - Put oil and powders into TMX bowl, heated and stirred until 50^o.  Much easier to mix in.
Astarra - they are nicer if left for 4-5 days, turning each day. Also, my SIL keeps hers in the freezer and says they are even nicer cold.
Johnro - The recipe which I have used since Noah was a boy has 2 teasp dry mustard and 2 teasp curry powder with the packets of dried soup mixes - works a treat.
Cookie -  Sometimes I left the strong flavours out and added dried fruit for something different.

i remember making Nuts and Bolts years ago 

 
is a dessert spoons bigger than a Tbl spoon ?

[cookie1]

About half the size. You could use tablespoons and then they would be more curry like.

[fundj&e]

so if i used 1 tbl of curry it would be ok

Goldfish has just posted this information about spoon measurements which you may find interesting.

These sound very moorish Cookie but I suspect you need a glass of something in your hands at the same time

What's nutri gain Cookie
Here in the UK Nutri-grain is this made by Kelloggs,horrible things

[judydawn]

Nothing  like it CC - what you showed wouldn't work in Cookie's recipe.  NutraGrain  is one of the few cereals I will eat, probably full of sugar but they are yummy.

I'm so glad you liked it. It is very moorish./MOREEEEEEEish. I think I spelled it incorrectly, thanks Chookie. I haven't been out on the moors.
