Sweet & Salty Snack Mix Recipe

Okay sports fans, today I have a delicious sweet & salty snack mix recipe and it’s the perfect thing to serve for tailgating, game day or Super Bowl parties.

This snack mix is one of those things you can just keep grabbing and munching on all day long. It combines sweet and salty {the perfect combination} and stores perfectly in a large mason jar that looks great on your table too. It all starts with a base recipe from my kids preschool several years ago.

Sweet & Salty Snack Mix

  • 2 cups semi-sweet {or dark chocolate} chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 6 cups hexagon cereal {Crispix}
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Sea Salt
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts, lightly salted
  • 1/4 cup m & m’s

Using the double boiler method with a large bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together over low heat. Stir often to combine.

Gently fold in cereal and coat well.

Place powdered sugar in a 2 gallon zip lock back, and add cereal mixture. Let out the air from the bag and zip closed. Massage and toss bag until cereal is well covered with sugar.

Transfer mixture to a sheet pan and spread out. Sprinkle a light amount of sea salt all over. I like to use the sea salt grinders available from the store.

Place mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help set up. Place into a storage container and add peanuts and m&m’s, and combine.

Enjoy!

Give this a try for your next dessert or snack table, and in the meantime, get the BEST lemon bars recipe and chocolate-marshmallow nut bar recipe here.

Kids love this snack mix too, so make it for their birthday parties or bag some up for take home favors.
