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
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Combine all dry ingredients (crackers through cashews) in a large dish or bowl.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Cool completely before transferring to an airtight dish or freezer bag.
Notes
- This mix will keep for up to a week when stored in an airtight container. Freeze it for up to three months.
- If you like heat, increase the amount of gochujang to 1.5-2 Tbsp.
