SNACK BOWL

April 16^th is Husband Appreciation Day so why not put together a nice big “snack” bowl filled with a variety of his favorites for watching his favorite shows or sports! You can also add a new twist to some favorites by kicking them up a bit with herbs and spices. Here are some of my husband’s favorites:

Nutty Nibbles: Combine 6c popcorn, 1c mixed nuts and 1c broken pretzel sticks in a bowl and mix well. Melt 1/4c butter with 2Tbs Worcestershire sauce and 1 1/2 tsp garlic herb blend.  Pour mixture over popcorn mix and stir until well coated.  Store in airtight container.

Sweet & Spicy Peanuts: Whisk together 1 egg white and 1tsp water until frothy then add to 4c peanuts and toss to coat. Combine 1c sugar and 1Tbs chili powder blend then add to nuts to coat evenly. Spread nuts on greased cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 45 mins, stirring every 15 mins. Remove from oven, stir to separate and cool.

Herbed Pretzel Mix: Combine 6c pretzel nubs with 1/2c melted butter, 1Tbs seasoned salt and 2Tbs Worcestershire sauce until coated. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 1 hr stirring every 15 mins. Spread on paper towels to cool and store in airtight container.

Tex-Mex Snack Crackers: Combine 1/4c olive oil and 1Tbs Tex-Mex seasoning blend in skillet and heat 1 minute then stir in 4 cloves pressed garlic. Pour mixture over 3 cups of cheddar snack crackers. Spread evenly on greased baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 mins.

Herbed Snack Crackers: Combine 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1 Tbs ranch dressing mix. Pour over 1 pkg oyster crackers and mix well. Store in airtight container.
