Not Just Any Snack Mix

When my good friend, C, first made this snack mix, I ate it until I felt sick. Now that's discipline. No purge. All binge.

There is something about this stuff that is outstanding. I've now made it a few times myself to bring places and people have requested the recipe each time. It's a glorious combo of sweet and spicy and when you get "that perfect bite" of a bunch of the goodies all stuck together....yum.

If you like/have different ingredients, you could certainly sub things in or out. And if you like it a little spicier, add a touch more cayenne pepper.




Snack Mix

2 C. Tostido round chips
2 C. Crispix cereal
2 C. pretzels
3 C. multi-grain cheerios
3 - 4 cups microwave popcorn
1 cup cashews

In a pot, bring to a boil:
1/2 C. Light corn syrup
1/2 C. Butter
1/2 C. Brown sugar
1 T. chili powder
1/8 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Crushed cayenne pepper

Mix all together in a large pan, bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Stir every 15-20 minutes.
