Description

This snack mix makes a party-sized batch that you can store in the fridge for up to a week. This gluten-free combo is savory, buttery, salty, and a little tart from the cranberries.

Ingredients

1/2 cup salted butter
4 cups crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)
2 cups salted cashews
2 cups pecans
2 cups gluten-free pretzels
1 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave, about 1 minute.
3 Mix rice cereal squares, cashews, pecans, pretzels, and cranberries together in a large bowl.
4 Add parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the melted butter. Toss with cereal mixture and spread onto the prepared baking sheets.

6 Serve immediately or store in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for 1 week.
