Here's one that I found and tweaked slightly when I first started taking bridge lessons. (What a dork, eh?)
It's got the sweet, spicy, salty thing going on.
Caramel Snack Mix
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, salted
1 1/2 cups white corn syrup
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cup pecan halves
1 1/2 cup whole raw almonds with skins
2 cups mini twisted pretzels
1 (12 ounce) package crispy corn and rice cereal (Crispix)
DIRECTIONS:
1.Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spray a large roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2.In a medium-size microwave safe bowl, mix butter, white corn syrup and brown sugar and spices. Place the
mixture in the microwave and cook 2 minutes, or until butter melts.
3.Place the cereal, pecans and almonds into the prepared roasting pan. Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal and nuts and mix gently until the cereal and nuts are coated.
4.Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
5.As the snack mix is cooling, be sure to continue to stir so that the mix will not harden in one big lump.
