Melt 2 lbs margarine in large pot.
Stir in 6 T worshestershire sauce
6 T hot chili powder
4 t garlic powder
2 t onion powder
4 dashes Tabasco
(all of these are heaping measures)
Divide into 2 or 3 roasting pans
1 large box Cheerios
2 boxes Rice Chex
1 bag stick pretzels
1 1/2 lbs pecans
Pour margarine mix over cereals and mix to soak up all margarine.
Put this in a 175-200 degree oven. Bake for 24-30 hours, stirring 4-6 times. When nuts are crunchy again, mix is ready.

First of all, the "lobs" issues has been corrected.
Here are some observations after finishing my fifth batch:
One batch will fill about 12 quart-sized ziplock bags.
The amount of tabasco in the recipe is way too low.
One 2.5 oz bottle of chili powder is just a little more than the recipe calls for, so I just use the whole bottle.
I think the recipe calls for too many Cheerios, so I am going to use a smaller box next time.
The margarine mixture soaks better if you stir more frequently at the beginning.
Enjoy!
One more tip:
I get the best coverage if I put the pecans in first, then pretzels, then Rice Chex. Stir this with the margarine mixture first. Add the Cheerios and then stir completely. The Cheerios tend to soak up too much margarine mixture if they go in with everything else.
