Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade party snack mix combining buttery Goldfish crackers, toasted nuts, mini pretzels, and a sweet-spicy glaze for a perfect sweet-salty crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Goldfish crackers (preferably Pepperidge Farm classic cheesy flavor)
  • 3 cups mini pretzels
  • 2 cups mixed nuts (salted variety with almonds, cashews, and peanuts)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  4. Whisk in brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine Goldfish crackers, mini pretzels, and mixed nuts. Toss gently to mix evenly.
  6. Pour the warm glaze over the snack mix and toss gently but thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula to coat every piece.
  7. Spread the coated mix in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding clumps.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up before serving.

Notes

Use parchment paper or silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. Stir every 15 minutes during baking to avoid clumps and ensure even toasting. Let cool completely for best crunch. For dairy-free, substitute butter with dairy-free butter or coconut oil. For nut-free, replace nuts with pumpkin seeds or extra pretzels. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
