Barbecue Party Mix Recipes

BBQ SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine crackers, pretzels, cereal squares, and peanuts in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle oil over cracker mixture and gently stir mixture with your hands until well coated, adding more oil, if necessary.
• Combine barbecue seasoning and paprika in a small bowl. Add to cracker mixture and toss gently until coated. Spread out on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to fully cool before serving or storing.

BBQ PARTY AND SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Combine Fritos, Chee-tos, Cheez-Its, corn nuts, sesame sticks, potato sticks, and soy nuts in a large bowl, mixing well.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter or margarine; add the Worcestershire, paprika, garlic and onion powders, chili powder, liquid smoke, bbq sauce and Tabasco.
• Combine with a whisk until smooth.
• Pour mixture over snack mix and stir well until all of the snacks seem equally coated.
• Spread the snack mix on a large flat baking sheet that has a lipped edge and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes (this promotes even drying).
• Mixture is done when it is dry and crisp; the sesame sticks get crispest as they cool.
• Cool snack mix and store in an airtight container until ready for use.

BARBECUE PARTY SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat your smoker to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). If using a Gateway Drum Smoker, move the rack to the top level.
• In the large foil tray, combine the various Chex, Cheez-its, pretzels, pecans, and walnuts.
• Melt together the butter, BBQ sauce, spicy sauce, and BBQ rub. Stir to combine well.
• Pour the melted mixture over the snack mix and stir until well combined.
• Place the foil tray into the preheated smoker and cook for one hour stirring every 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot, warm, or cold.

BARBECUE PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250.
• Combine cereal, corn chips, melba toast, pretzels, and almonds in a large bowl. Whisk butter and barbecue sauce together in a small bowl, then drizzle over cereal mixture. Sprinkle evenly with chili powder, oregano and cayenne and toss until well combined.
• Empty mixture onto rimmed baking sheet and spread to distribute evenly. Bake stirring every 15 minutes, until golden and crisp, about 45 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature.
• Note: I found most of the ingredients in the bulk section. I took a one cup measuring cup and measured out what I needed -- plus a bit more for snacking!
