Sweet Spicy Party Mix Recipes

SPICY SWEET PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
• Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne, cardamom and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the nuts, pretzels, and crackers and toss to coat.
• Spread the mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway. The mixture will still be slightly wet-looking and will dry out as it cools.

SWEET SPICY CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray, line with parchment paper, then coat with baking spray once more. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the honey nut cereal, wheat cereal, pretzels, cashews, pecans, peanuts, and almonds.
• In another bowl, beat the egg white until foamy, then stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, chipotle powder, chili powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Drizzle over the cereal and nut mixture, then toss to coat.
• Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring once every 20 minutes. The mixture is done when dry to the touch. Remove from the oven, place the pan on a cooling rack, and let cool completely.

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-SWEET MAPLE SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Combine maple syrup, butter, vinegar, thyme, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, until butter has melted and mixture is combined. Remove from heat. Stir together remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle maple mixture over cereal mixture, stirring to evenly coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and golden, about 1 hour. Let cool completely before serving. Mix can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
