Savory Snack Mix Recipes

Steps:

• In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, pretzels and peanuts.
• In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave butter on High about 40 seconds or until melted. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
• Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 5 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until mixture just begins to brown. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250°F. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, mix pretzels, cereals and nuts.
• In small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce until blended. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring to coat.
• Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels; cool about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk in sugar, soy, hoisin, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger and cayenne. Remove from heat.
• Combine popcorn, rice cereal, chow mein noodles, Asian snack mix, cashews and wasabi peas in a very large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss well to coat. Spread evenly in 2 large (18- by 13-inch) rimmed sheet pans.
• Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, a total of 1 hour.
• Cool completely in pans on racks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease two rimmed baking sheets with vegetable oil. In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons vegetable oil with the butter, corn syrup, sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the snack mix, except the hemp seeds. Pour the syrup over the mix and toss with a wooden spoon to evenly coat all the pieces.
• Divide the mix across the two prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the hemp seeds evenly over the mixture on both baking sheets.
• Bake until the mix is dry, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, tossing well every 15 minutes. The mixture will be dry but still sticky, and will set as it cools.
• Let the mix cool completely before breaking it into pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients listed prior to the popcorn oil into a white kitchen wastebasket size garbage bag and shake gently.
• Mix together the last four ingredients and pour over the dry ingredients in the bag. Store and shake occasionally for 48 hours before serving.
• Supposedly can be frozen in freezer Ziploc bags. I have never done that.
