Sweet N' Spicy Party Mix

You know those addicting snacks that you just cannot stop eating no matter how hard you try?  Well, this is that snack.  But have no fear- this mix is low fat and will give you no guilt while snacking!  (or over-snacking!)  This snack takes barely any time to make and anyone you feed it to, will keep going back for more!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white sugar 

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground chile pepper

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp chile powder 

2 egg whites

2 cups pretzel sticks

1 cup whole grain cheddar Goldfish crackers

2 cups wheat Chex cereal

2 cups corn Chex cereal

1 cup dry-roasted slightly salted peanuts

1 cup dry-roasterd salted almonds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  In a small bowl combine the first 6 ingredients and stir with a whisk.  In a large bowl, add two egg whites and whip with whisk until foamy and white.  Add pretzels, Goldfish, cereals, peanuts, and almonds to the egg whites.  Stir and coat each pieces with the egg whites.  Top with the spice mixture and stir to coat all pieces of mix.  Place parchment paper onto 2 cookie sheets.  Sprinkle mix all over the cookie sheets in an even layer.  Put in over and bake for 15 minutes.  (At 7 minutes, I stir the mixture so it can cook evenly.)  Once 15 minutes is up, stir mixture again and turn off oven and let mixture cook for another 15 minutes.  Once that is done, let mix cool and become crunchy.  Enjoy!  (Keep in air-tight container to keep fresh!) 

*Remember- Nuts are so good for you, but try not to eat too much- the fat adds up :)
