 It's the season of sweets. You know that time of year between Thanksgiving and New Year's when everywhere you go you're just surrounded with sweets. So I like to find something that's a little bit sweet but a little bit salty at the same time and maybe a little bit spicy just to give people a little break from all the sweets. And today I'm going to show you one of my favorite snack mixes that I like to make this time of year. I always have it on hand. It makes a great little gift or an extra special treat. It's great for nibbling during the game. So let's get to it. I've got all my ingredients. You don't even need to put an apron on for this. It's so easy to put together. All the ingredients can be picked up at the grocery store. And I'm going to start by putting one cup of honey roasted peanuts into my bowl. So those are a little bit sweet and a little bit salty. I've got some salted roasted cashews and then these little sesame sticks. I would never be without the sesame sticks in the snack mix. They're crunchy and that sesame seed flavor is so good. And I've got some pistachios that are roasted, salted. These days you can buy them in bags in the store. They're already out of the shell, really easy to use. Put those into the bowl and some dried cranberries. Give that little bit of tart sweetness. And then my favorite ingredient of all and it's really a surprise in this mix when people are eating it wasabi peas. If you haven't had wasabi peas, they're usually a roasted pea with, it's roasted with sugar and salt and horseradish. And that's what gives it a big spicy kick. So every now and then you get one of these wasabi peas in a handful of this mixture into your mouth. And it's a surprise, but it's a surprise that you'll love. So put this all in your bowl, just mix it up and it's ready to eat. Scoop it into a cellophane bag or put it into a pretty little jar, tie a ribbon around it and you've got a great little gift for someone special. I hope you'll give this sweet and spicy snack mix a try. I'm Sue Dodin sharing good food for Good Life 365.
