Ingredients

  • 6 cup unsalted popped popcorn or 6 cups broken unsalted rice cakes

  • 3 cup corn chips or coarsely broken tortilla chips

  • 3 cup mini pretzel twists

  • 1 ½ cup dry roasted cashews or peanuts

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ½ cup snipped dried apricots

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F. In a large roasting pan combine popcorn, corn chips, pretzel twists, and cashews. In a small bowl stir together butter, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour butter mixture over popcorn mixture, tossing to coat.

  2. Bake about 30 minutes or until the coating on snack mix begins to darken slightly, stirring occasionally. Spread snack mix on a large piece of foil and let cool. Stir in dried apricots.

Make-Ahead Directions:

Place snack mix in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days. (For longer storage, use rice cakes instead of popcorn.)
