Mex Mix - Like Chex Mix - But Better

 


 

 

 A holiday mix with Mexican flavors.

Ingredients:

Roasted Nuts:

2/3 cup raw cashews

2/3 cup pecans

Spiced Sugar:

1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

2 T and 2t pure maple syrup

1/8 cup coconut oil

1/2 t ground cinnamon

1 and 1/2 t  unsweetened cocoa powder

1 and 1/2 t kosher salt

3/4 t cayenne pepper (I use a 1/2 t)

For the Snack Mix:

1 1/2 cups pretzel sticks

1 cup plantain chips

6 T pepitas


Directions:

Roast the nuts: Heat oven to 350. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Roast nuts for 10 minutes and set aside.

Make the spiced sugar: In a small saucepan, heat the dark brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, cocoa powder, kosher salt and cayenne over medium heat. Stir until mixture is liquid and slightly bubbles. Remove from heat.

Bake the snack mix: In a large bowl, combine the roasted nuts, with the remaining ingredients and pour the spice mixture and stir until well coated.

Spread on one (or two) sheet pans lined with parchment and bake until it bubbles. 350 for about 15 minutes. 

Let cool completely, break into smaller pieces if necessary. Store in a air tight container.
