This sweet & spicy Asian snack mix is bursting with cereal, rice crackers, sesame sticks, crispy peas, pretzels and best of all, almonds! It’s all sorts of delicious!!!
Aside from cheering on my favorite team and spending time with friends and family, one of the best parts about watching football is the food!!! Am I right?! But to be honest, I’m all about throwing together snacks in a jiffy. This snack mix only takes a few minutes to mix up and the rest is done in the oven! That means you can pull it out at commercial break and it will be devoured by the next one!
This sweet & spicy Asian snack mix unique spin on a family favorite. We always make big batches of snack mix throughout the fall and winter, and this one’s definitely going to be part of the rotation.
It’s got a nice tang from the Wasabi & Soy Almonds, a kick from the cayenne pepper and a little bit of sweetness from the honey. Each handful will leave you wanting more!
So are you ready to see just how easy it is to make?! Just toss all of the snack items in a big mixing bowl and then pour the butter/seasoning mixture over top. Toss it together and pour onto a lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and bake at 250 degrees for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. When it’s done let it cool on the sheet, then toss into a bowl & enjoy!
Ditch the chips and make a big bowl of this crazy flavorful snack mix instead- it’s game day fuel for hungry fans!

Looks good. I usually sprinkle furikake on the party mix after tossing with the butter. Adds another flavor level to this amazing and dangerous snack!
Sounds good! Thank you for sharing that!!
Delicious snack mix! I made it today and served before our
egg roll in a bowl for dinner. DH ate so much of the mix that
