Ingredients
- 3 cups pecans*
- 3 cups sesame sticks*
- 2 cups mixed nuts*
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce or more to taste**
- 1 tablespoons chili powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°. Combine nuts, and any other snack items you choose in a large bowl.
- Heat butter and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted (alternately, microwave in a glass container until butter is melted).
- Pour butter mixture over nut mixture, stirring to coat well. Taste to see if you'd like more Sriracha or salt. Spread in an even layer on a lightly greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with a bit of salt if desired, stir and let cool before serving. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
*You'll need 8 cups total of nuts and any mix-ins you'd like. Small crackers, rice checks, pretzels work instead of the sesame sticks.
**It's not as spicy as you'd think - I used 3+ tablespoons since we like things spicy.
