2. Place half each of popped corn, cereal, and pretzels in large roasting pan (17" by 11 1/2"); toss with half of Worcestershire mixture.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups Wheat Chex®
3 cups Corn Chex®
3 cups Cheerios®
3 cups fat free pretzels
3 egg whites -- beaten til foamy
5 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons season salt

In a large pan, mix the wheat Chex, corn Chex, Cheerios, and pretzels together. Set aside. In another bowl, beat your egg whites til foamy. Then add worcestershire sauce and season salt. Mix well.

Pour egg white mixture over cereal mixture. Stir well. Then lightly spray the cereal mixture with Butter Flavored Non-stick Cooking Spray.
Stirring well, spray lightly several times.

Place on cookie sheet and put in warm oven (250) for 1 1/2 hrs. Stirring every 30 minutes. When done, take out and spread on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with Garlic Salt. Store in air tight container.

I assumed that this recipe makes 12 servings of 1 cup each. If so:
Per MasterCook, each 1 cup serving =
144 cals, 1 g. fat, 2 g. fiber= 3 WW points (1/2 cup serving comes out to 1 point)
