SPICY PARTY MIX



Spicy Party Mix image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield About 15 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

9 cups rice, corn or wheat Chex or Crispix cereal, or a combination
2 cups any kind of lightly salted nut
2 cups small pretzels
3 cups add-ins, such as cheese crackers, rice crackers, bagel chips, sesame sticks or a combination
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce, plus more to taste

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.

SWEET-AND-SALTY PARTY MIX



Sweet-and-Salty Party Mix image

This joyful, crunchy snack to share with friends (and enjoy with cocktails) relies on corn syrup, sugar and soy sauce for a balance of sweet and savory. The glaze in this recipe is a riff on the sweet-and-salty coating used in cereal-seaweed snack mixes found in Hawaii that bakes into an irresistible, super-crisp shell. A bit of Worcestershire sauce lend some tang, and cayenne adds a surprising touch of heat. Use the mix-in amounts as a guide, and feel free to use whatever cereals, crackers and nuts speak to you.

Time 1h30m

Yield About 16 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pans
1/2 cup/113 grams salted butter (1 stick)
1/3 cup/105 grams light corn syrup
1/3 cup/67 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
4 cups/100 grams crunchy, salty snacks, such as cheese crackers, rice crackers, bagel chips, sesame sticks or a combination
3 cups/115 grams salted mini pretzels
6 cups/180 grams rice or corn Chex or Crispix cereal, or a combination
3 cups/29 grams store-bought or homemade salted popcorn
1 cup/125 grams roasted, salted cashews (or your favorite nut)
1/4 cup/35 grams hemp or sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease two rimmed baking sheets with vegetable oil. In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons vegetable oil with the butter, corn syrup, sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the snack mix, except the hemp seeds. Pour the syrup over the mix and toss with a wooden spoon to evenly coat all the pieces.
  • Divide the mix across the two prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the hemp seeds evenly over the mixture on both baking sheets.
  • Bake until the mix is dry, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, tossing well every 15 minutes. The mixture will be dry but still sticky, and will set as it cools.
  • Let the mix cool completely before breaking it into pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ingredients to create a flavorful and visually appealing mix. Nuts, seeds, pretzels, crackers, and dried fruits are all great options.
  • Choose ingredients that are fresh and of high quality. This will ensure that your party mix tastes its best.
  • Be creative with your flavors. You can use sweet, savory, or spicy ingredients to create a mix that is uniquely your own.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to party mix recipes. Try different combinations of ingredients and flavors until you find one that you love.
  • Make sure to store your party mix properly. Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to keep it fresh and flavorful for longer.
