Honey Sriracha Snack Mix
Honey Sriracha Snack MixWhether you are into March Madness or are having guests over for a party, this Honey Sriracha Snack Mix is a fantastic sweet and spicy recipe that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. The combination of Chex cereal, pretzels, cashews and puff corn is tossed in a honey, butter and sriracha mix for a sweet and savory snack.
I’m currently chilling in the basement working on the blog and watching trashy reality television while my husband takes care of the babies. Don’t get me wrong, this is not what my life normally looks like. After a LONG few weeks of my husband being sick and me not having him help with the babies for weeks, then the babies getting sick and me being in the hospital, I was due for a partial day off while he takes over.
I’m so grateful to be out of the hospital, but there was a tiny part of me that enjoyed getting to bond with my babies one on one, instead of juggling them both at the same time. It was also quite nice being fed three meals a day…
While it was nice being fed, the options start to get old fast when you are there for over a week. I would have loved to have a big bowl of this Honey Sriracha Snack Mix! Instead my snacks consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, breakfasts were oatmeal and lunch and dinner were chili or club sandwiches. I am super grateful that the hospital offers meals delivered to your room, but it sure is nice to be home and have the flexibility to make what you want!

Snack mix tastes great!! I stirred every 5 minutes though because the puff corn was burning if I didn’t.

Honey Sriracha Snack Mix looks SO good – I am a Sriracha ADDICT – but for the life of me, I have no idea what “Puff corn” is. All I could think of is a generic cereal called CORN PUFFS, or something I found at Walmart called CHESTER’S PUFFCORN (cheese flavored popcorn). Please explain that one more fully so I can make me a nice big bowl of hot and sweet, Thanks!

It is that Chester’s Puffcorn, but not in the cheese flavor, just plain butter flavor. https://amzn.to/2E7ikzo

Thank you for your swift reply. I will look for Chester’s Puffcorn in the butter flavor. Can’t wait to try this. I enjoy The Creative Bite very much and your photos are absolutely mouthwatering! I’m looking forward to trying a lot of your recipes and I’m so happy that you’re including Pressure Cooker recipes! I LOVE my electric Pressure Cooker. Even my helpless-in-the-kitchen hubby has managed to learn how to make boiled eggs in it and has taken over the task of keeping us supplied with plenty of PERFECT boiled eggs. I don’t even have to watch over him nervously anymore so he doesn’t blow up the house, LOL! Again, thanks for all the time, effort, creativity, and LOVE that you put into The Creative Bite.

Ahhh thanks so much Nancy. We just made 3 dozen eggs for Easter this way and they were perfection. I think eggs alone are a great reason to buy an electric pressure cooker! That’s awesome that you have trained your husband to do the job. 😉
