Smoky And Spicy Party Mix Recipes

SPICY PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce until well blended. Whisk in seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and celery seed.
• Combine corn cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, and pretzels in a large oven-safe bowl or roasting pan. Drizzle the sauce over the mix with a spoon, stirring frequently, until well coated.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until hot and crunchy, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Turn off the oven, stir the mix, and leave the oven door cracked open with the mix still inside. Let cool inside for 45 to 60 minutes. Store in airtight containers.

SPICY RANCH PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dill, parsley, chives, salt, garlic powder, and chipotle powder. Remove from heat.
• Place wheat, rice, and corn cereal squares in a large bowl. Add nuts. Stir in the seasoned butter. Spread mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring once halfway through, until toasted and fragrant, about 1 hour. Let cool before serving.

SWEET, SPICY, SALTY, SMOKY SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat smoker to 225F (you will use a fruit wood like apple or cherry) OR you can use the oven--it just won't have a hint of smokiness. Maggie asked if you could just use a drop or two of liquid smoke, I don't know, but will try it.
• Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with a light oil OR use a Non-Stick Foil to line your sheet pan....set aside.
• Put all the cracker ingredients (cereal, pretzels, bugles, crackers and nuts) into a big bowl and mix. My brother thinks popcorn would be a good addition and I agree.
• In a medium saucepan add in the butter, sugar, syrup hot sauce and salt. Bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. It's going to foam up....keep stirring.
• Immediately pour over the dry ingredients and fold over....not stir. Dump this onto your foil-lined pan sheet and spread out.
• Place this pan sheet on the smoker and smoke using a fruit wood such as apple, pear or cherry with a mix of maple for an hour. NOTE: If you don't have a smoker, just finish it in the oven.
• Remove your pan and allow to cool completely before breaking apart.

"THE HEAT" SPICY PARTY MIX

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter.
• Whisk in the worscestershire and hot sauce until well blended.
• Whisk in the garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, cayenne, and celery seed until well blended.
• In a large oven safe bowl or roasting pan, add the party mix that you have chosen and begin to dribble the sauce over the mix with a spoon, stirring frequently, until well coated.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring the mix every 15 minutes.
• Turn off the oven, stir the mix, and leave the oven door cracked with the mix still inside. Let it sit in oven to cool for 45 to 60 minutes.
