This summer I discovered one of my pals is a genius snack mix maker. I had her share her very favorite recipes with me. I tried out this one for a work get together and...yum! I love the sweet with just an undertone of spice you probably wouldn't even notice if you didn't know it was in there. The original recipe calls for just 6 cups of crispex, but she said she does 8 so it's not overly saturated, so I followed her steps because I trust her judgment on these matters....I've had her other mixes!
Ingredients: 8 c. crispix cereal, 1 c. pecan halves (unsalted), 1 c. pretzels (any shape), 3/4 c. brown sugar (lightly packed), 1/2 t. cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 sticks of butter (3/4 c).
Instructions:
1. Place cereal, nuts, and pretzels into a big bowl and toss together.
2. Melt butter in a small pan over the stove on medium. Add brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Stir together and bring to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute.
3. Pour butter mix over crispex mix and toss together.
4. Pour mix on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I covered mine with foil to help with clean up). Place in preheat 350 degree oven. Bake for 8 minutes. Stir around. Return to oven for another 8 minutes.
5. Pull out and let cool for at least 45 minutes before storing in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
