Spicy Pig Skin And Corn Nut Snack Mix Recipes

SESAME-PISTACHIO SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚ and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg white in a large bowl until frothy, then whisk in the sugar, thyme, chili powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the pepitas, pistachios and sesame seeds; toss to coat.
• Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until crisp and dry, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, add the wasabi peas to the warm snack mixture and toss. Let cool.

WHITE CHOCOLATE-STRAWBERRY SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until very finely ground and powdered in texture. Alternatively, place in a resealable bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin until very finely and evenly ground and powdered in texture. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in the confectioners' sugar until combined. Set aside.
• Pour the crisp rice cereal squares and honey whole-grain oat cereal into a large bowl. Put the chopped white chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until just melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, then gently toss with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Pour the strawberry-sugar mixture over the chocolate-coated cereal, then toss again until every piece is nicely coated and pink. Stir in the candy-coated chocolate and sprinkles. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

• Put the egg white in a large bowl and whisk until frothy. Add the cashews, cereal, corn nuts, pretzels and oyster crackers and toss to coat in the egg white. Add the spice blend and toss to coat again.
