# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like the best parts of a road trip gas station haul, but you made it yourself and know exactly whats in it.
  • You can toss it together in minutes, bake it while you do something else, and itll make your whole house smell incredible.
  • Its the kind of snack that disappears at parties before anyone even notices the main course.
02 -
  • If you skip the stirring halfway through, the edges will burn and the center will stay pale, and nobody wants that kind of chaos.
  • Letting it cool completely is not optional, warm snack mix is soft and disappointing, cooled snack mix is dangerously crunchy.
03 -
  • Use unsalted butter so you control the salt level, because the crackers, pretzels, and cashews already bring plenty.
  • Stir gently when coating, if you go too hard youll crush the crackers and end up with seasoned dust.
