SAVORY CRACKER SNACK MIX
A Taste of Home recipe inspired this one! Because I love everything bagel seasoning, I decided to give this a try. A friend later suggested I make the mix more versatile with something other than oyster crackers, and now it's a deliciously addictive snack! -Cyndy Gerken, Naples, Florida-Cyndy Gerken, Naples, Florida

PARTY CHEESE CRACKER MIX
This is easy and delicious to offset those sweet things that are too often served at parties. It tastes best if made the day before, and let sit over night. You will need a very LARGE bowl, with a lid if possible. You will also need 1 - 16 oz box of Cheez-it crackers and 2- 6.6 oz Pepperidge Farm Cheddar Goldfish. The recipe would not accept these two items.

SPICY PARTY MIX
When a recipe for a seasoned snack mix first appeared on the back of the Chex cereal box in the 1950s, people went crazy for it. Years later, a Google search for the recipe yields more than two million results for various riffs, from savory to spicy to sweet. Many call for tossing the dry ingredients with the wet, then letting the mix dry on paper towels, but baking it at a low temperature yields crisper, more flavorful results. Hot sauce gives this version a bit of a kick, but if you don't like heat, you can leave it out. View this recipe as a template to tweak as you see fit: Use crunchy, roasted edamame or green peas in place of the nuts, substitute Thai red curry paste or Sriracha for the hot sauce, or double up on whatever ingredients you like best. Keep the dry-to-wet ratios the same and you can't go wrong.

Steps:
- Arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 250 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Combine cereal, nuts, pretzels and add-ins in a very large bowl. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave in 20-second increments, about 1 minute. (You can also do this in a small saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.) Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Add half of the melted butter mixture to the cereal mixture. Gently and thoroughly fold to combine. Add the rest of the melted butter mixture and stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Divide the mixture evenly across the prepared pans. Bake, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes, until crisp and slightly darkened in color, about 1 hour. Cool completely on the pans on wire racks before serving (if you can wait that long). Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
ORIGINAL 1956 CHEX PARTY MIX

Steps:
- In a very large plastic container with a sealable lid combine the crackers and the nuts. Seal the lid and gently roll the container until the crackers and nuts are well mixed. I actually use a big silver bowl & use both hands to keep mixing until all are mixed.
- In 2 cup container mix the coating ingredients. Drizzle over the crackers and nuts. Seal the container and gently roll the container for 4 minutes until all the crackers and nuts are coated or just keep mixing in large bowl with hands. Let set out on counter to sorta air dry for about an hour. Place the mixture into resealable bags or containers for 24 hours. Repeat for the rest of the ingredients. I store in the fridge in sealable bag.
- Approximate a ½ box of crackers by taking the waxed paper pouches out of the boxes so you can see how much is in each bag. DON'T FORGET TO BUY 3 BOXES OF THE CHEDDAR RITZ CHIPS TO MAKE 2 BATCHES. If you can't find the exact brand of crackers in the recipe, substitute crackers you like.
- Place in plastic bread bags & tie with raffia for gift giving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of crackers to create a more interesting mix. Some good choices include Chex Mix, pretzels, and goldfish.
- Add some nuts and seeds for extra crunch and flavor. Good options include peanuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
- If you like spicy snacks, add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the mix.
- For a sweet and salty mix, add some dried fruit or chocolate chips.
- Be sure to taste the mix as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Store the party mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Cracker party mix is a delicious and easy snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover crackers and other snacks, and it is also a fun and festive snack to share with friends and family. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a cracker party mix recipe that everyone will enjoy.
