2 ½ cups
General Mills Rice Chex cereal
3 ½ cups
General Mills Corn Chex cereal
2 cups
bagel chips or Melba toast
2 cups
pretzel sticks
2 cups
Nabisco Triscuit Minis
2 cups
Cucina Viva Rosemary Crostini
1 cup
salted crunchy chickpeas
1 cup
rosemary Marcona (Valencia) almonds
½ cup
hot sauce
½ cup
Kowalski's Pure Honey
7 tbsp.
Kowalski's Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp.
Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp.
kosher salt
1 tsp.
garlic powder
1 tsp.
onion powder
¾ tsp.
freshly ground Kowalski's Black Peppercorns
¼ tsp.

1 cup
french fried onions
Directions
- Preheat oven to 250°.
- In an extra-large mixing bowl, combine first 8 ingredients (through almonds).
- In a 4-cup measuring glass, combine remaining ingredients except onions.
- Microwave honey mixture until melted and smooth (about 2 min.); remove from microwave and stir.
- Drizzle honey mixture evenly over snack mix in bowl; toss to coat completely and evenly.
- Immediately divide snack mix between 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper; bake in preheated oven for 80-90 min., stirring every 10-15 min. Rotate and turn pans halfway through baking. Watch carefully in the last 15 min. to ensure that the honey doesn't start to burn, as this can happen quickly; remove from oven early if necessary.
- Remove pans from oven; cool cocktail mix completely on pans (mixture will crisp further as it cools).
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
