1 tablespoon smoked paprika

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 tablespoons Smoke N Sanity Essence of Garlic Salt (Use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar

1 teaspoon each Kosher salt and black pepper

3 cups gluten-free salted mini pretzel twists or pretzel sticks cut in half

3 cups Squarefish Cheesy Crackers (or sub additional rice chex and pretzels)

2 cups Rice Chex Ceareal

1 cup roasted and salted peanuts (optional)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Make my “Squarefish” Cheesy Cracker Crisps (if using). Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

(2) Blend the seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, SnS Garlic Parmesan Seasoning, smoked paprika, chili powder, dill, essence of garlic salt, cayenne, brown sugar, Kosher salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend.

(3) Add the crackers/cereal: Add the pretzels, cheese crackers, and Chex cereal, tossing well for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is evenly coated. Spread the mix evenly over a rimmed baking sheet.

(4) Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Toss 1-2 times throughout cooking. Once cooked, remove from the oven and stir the peanuts in, if using.

(5) Plate and serve: Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
