It's almost Christmas and in case you haven't had your fill of holiday baking and preparations I've decided to try and put a new recipe out each day this week that is a "healthy spin" on some favorite snacks for this time of year.
Party Mix - like Chex Mix - only better!
6 Tbsp. butter
1/2 - 3/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 - 3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 - 3/4 tsp chili powder (depending on your taste buds!)
pinch of sea salt
3 cups puffed rice cereal (health food store brand - hfsb from here on out!)
3 cups wheat squares cereal (hfsb)
3 cups puffed corn cereal (hfsb)
1 cup of your favorite nuts (raw is best)
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Melt butter in large roasting pan in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels if excessively greasy to cool. Store in airtight container. makes 12 cups of snack mix.
