Today we are making this incredible cinnamon snickerdoodle vegan snack mix! This snack mix is so delicious it magically disappears whenever I make it! I can’t think of a better recipe to share with Super Bowl Sunday coming up.
You may spot some similarities between this recipe and my Savoury Herb & Garlic Snack Mix. That’s because the base ingredients are the same! I did this on purpose, you see. I love to buy all the same ingredients and then just split it between two pans—one sweet and one savoury. That way everyone is happy! I’m definitely a sweets person whereas Greg is all about the salty snacks so it works for us.
The idea is the same: combine all the yummy snack mix ingredients in a bowl—I use shreddies (the little shredded wheat squares), pretzels, corn nuts (we didn’t use any real nuts- they’re a bit heavy for this), and sesame strips, all from Bulk Barn. But feel free to get creative! You could add in cinnamon toast crunch, cocoa pops, granola clusters, actual chex cereal or even chocolate chips (after the mix has cooled!)
Then, coat in melted butter and then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for a few minutes until golden, then set aside to cool completely before serving. It really couldn’t be easier, but is SO delicious!
