Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup unsalted mixed nuts
- 1.5 cups pretzel twists
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup toasted sesame sticks
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried cranberries, mixed nuts, pretzel twists, mini chocolate chips, sesame sticks, and pumpkin seeds.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mix is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure it is not too crowded to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure everything gets evenly toasted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the snack mix to an airtight container or portion into snack-size bags for easy storage.
Enjoy as a delightful snack on-the-go, a mid-afternoon treat, or a pick-me-up during hikes or long days!
