Summertime Salty Sweet Snack Mix

Snack alert! Angela was gracious to share this smash hit of a recipe. Recently a group of girls sat around a fire pit sipping wine and snacking on this mix.  If you are a salty sweet kind of gal, you will love this.  

Ingredients: 

6 cups mini pretzels
2 cups of oyster crackers
2 cups of unsalted peanuts
2 cups of cashews
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup of canola oil
3 Tbsp dry mustard
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp of cayenne pepper, more or less for spicy flavor
 
Toss together the crackers, pretzels, and nuts in a large bowl.  Stir the syrup, oil, dry mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper in a smaller bowl. Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until well coated.  Bake at 325 on 2 large cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, tossing once for 25-30 minutes. Let cool and mix.
 
Store at room temperature for 3 weeks. Makes 6- 2 cup portions.
