SWEET-AND-SALTY PARTY MIX
This joyful, crunchy snack to share with friends (and enjoy with cocktails) relies on corn syrup, sugar and soy sauce for a balance of sweet and savory. The glaze in this recipe is a riff on the sweet-and-salty coating used in cereal-seaweed snack mixes found in Hawaii that bakes into an irresistible, super-crisp shell. A bit of Worcestershire sauce lend some tang, and cayenne adds a surprising touch of heat. Use the mix-in amounts as a guide, and feel free to use whatever cereals, crackers and nuts speak to you.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease two rimmed baking sheets with vegetable oil. In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons vegetable oil with the butter, corn syrup, sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the snack mix, except the hemp seeds. Pour the syrup over the mix and toss with a wooden spoon to evenly coat all the pieces.
- Divide the mix across the two prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the hemp seeds evenly over the mixture on both baking sheets.
- Bake until the mix is dry, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, tossing well every 15 minutes. The mixture will be dry but still sticky, and will set as it cools.
- Let the mix cool completely before breaking it into pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

SWEET AND SALTY SNACK MIX
A yummy snack mix that I created for my husband because I couldn't find a mix that did not use corn syrup. This makes a smaller batch than most snack mixes out there.

Tips:
- Freshness matters: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Stale pretzels or popcorn will not taste as good in the mix.
- Variety is key: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of snacks. The more variety, the more interesting the mix will be.
- Add some sweetness: A little bit of sweetness can help to balance out the salty snacks. Try adding some dried fruit, chocolate chips, or marshmallows to the mix.
- Don't over-mix: Mix the snacks gently so that they don't get crushed. You want the mix to be light and airy, not dense and packed.
- Store properly: Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Making snack mix is a fun and easy way to satisfy your cravings. With a little creativity, you can create a mix that is perfect for any occasion. Just remember to use fresh ingredients, mix gently, and store properly. Enjoy!
