Sweet and Spicy Moroccan Snack Mix

So, I've never been someone who has been very excited about watching the Superbowl. I will admit, I enjoy the commercials...but truly the thing I enjoy the most is the FOOD!! So, instead of blogging about what team I'll be cheering for, I'll blog about a recipe you should try for the big game day!

Sweet and Spicy Moroccan Snack Mix:

4 cups plain air-popped popcorn
3 cups multigrain cereal squares
2 cups miniature pretzel twists
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine popcorn, cereal and pretzels in large bowl. Combine melted butter and all other ingredients in small bowl. Add butter mixture to popcorn mixture and toss well to coat. Transfer to large roasting pan. Bake, stirring occasionally until lightly toasted (about 30 minutes). Cool completely.

This snack mix can be stored up to 1 week in an airtight container. I imagine thats how long it will stay fresh. In our house, it usually only lasts about 2 days because thats how quickly we eat it! Its so good and much healthier than the normal chex mix you get in the stores.

Enjoy! And since I don't care who wins the superbowl, I'll just throw this in for good measure....Go Pirates!
