Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cheddar square crackers (I used Simple Mills)
  • 2 cups wheat square cereal
  • 2 cups salted pretzel twists
  • 1 cup whole raw unsalted almonds
  • 1 cup whole raw unsalted cashews
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 heaping Tbsp gochujang
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients (crackers through cashews) in a large dish or bowl.
  3. Melt the butter in a liquid measuring cup, then add chile paste, garlic powder, soy sauce and sesame oil and stir with a fork until well combined.
  4. Pour the liquid over the snack mix and toss well to completely coat (it takes a minute or two). Transfer to a lined baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Cool completely before transferring to an airtight dish or freezer bag.
