Ingredients
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup unsalted mixed nuts
- 1.5 cups pretzel twists
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup toasted sesame sticks
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried cranberries, mixed nuts, pretzel twists, mini chocolate chips, sesame sticks, and pumpkin seeds.
Step 3
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mix is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure it is not too crowded to allow even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure everything gets evenly toasted.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the snack mix to an airtight container or portion into snack-size bags for easy storage.
Step 9
Enjoy as a delightful snack on-the-go, a mid-afternoon treat, or a pick-me-up during hikes or long days!
