Vegan Pretzel Almond Snack Mix

This pretzel mix offers the best of both worlds, it's spicey and sweet.

I am making a large batch to bring to my brother's house today.   I am helping my brother and sister in-law who are in the process of packing up their home and moving out of state.  

You can easily alter this recipe to suit your taste.  Try adding raisins, a variety of different nuts, or instead of a spicy flavor try garlic, dill, and onion powder for a ranch flavor.

Ingredients:

2 cups organic pretzels 

1 cup organic almonds 

2 tablespoons organic brown sugar 

2 tablespoons non-dairy butter

1 1/2 teaspoons chive salt*

1/2 teaspoon organic cayenne pepper 

*Recipe for chive salt is here

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees 

Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.

In a large bowl add pretzels, and almonds mix well.

In a saucepan add butter, sugar, and cayenne; bring to a boil.

Pour over pretzel mixture and gently combine.

Spread pretzel mixture on lined sheet.  Bake 20 minutes, stir occasionally.

Remove from oven and sprinkle chive salt evenly over pretzel mixture.
