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.
