I’ve been told football season kicks off this week, and with a couple weeks of the college season behind us I thought it would be fun to share my favorite recipe for perfect party mix. I had a friend’s mom that always made this around the holiday season. I love the flavors of cumin, garlic and worcestershire, but never did enjoy the cereal part of the mix. My whole family agrees and we are always left with a big bowl of savory Chex.

It was about time to do something about it, and just in time for football season. I grabbed a few of my favorite crunchy snacks, threw them together, then topped with the classic party mix seasoning. I discovered how to DIY a few of the ingredients along the way as apparently their IS such a thing as seasoned salt. So here you go my perfect party mix AND a recipe for seasoned salt. Just in case you find yourself hanging like myself with a big batch of mix and melted butter and no seasoned salt.
