Sweet & Spicy Snack Mix

 A snack bowl full of Sweet & Spicy Snack Mix is a great snack to have while watching the games, playing cards with a friend or just sitting quietly and reading a book. It sure is a good snack for our family to enjoy any time. I can set a bowl of this mix on the bar top and it will disappear in no time. This snack mix is a great mix of sweet & spicy  seasons with crackers, pretzels, peanuts and cereal, baked in the oven to perfection.
