Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews)

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed nuts, pretzels, and cereal; toss to mix.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, smoked paprika, and salt until combined.

Notes

For a nut-free version, use more pretzels or seeds. Olive oil can replace butter for a dairy-free option.
