Classic margarita flavors of salt, lime and even a dash of tequila combine to make this jazzy snack mix. Olé!

You can purchase the margarita mix online. Check Amazon and eBay.

This recipe is the greatest. Like others it was hard to find the powdered mix. You need to look at Liquor Stores. I did find it at a liquor store in Northern Minnesota after finding it on the internet on Amazon.com and buying tons of it. Okay though because everyone loves it and I will make it alot.

I couldn''t wait to make this recipe, but I can''t find a dry margarita mix anywhere in town, or within a 50 mile radius. All the food and liquor stores thought I was crazy. If the staff at Betty Crocker is going to post a recipe, the least they could do is find out if all the ingredients are readily available! I would like to know where others bought the margarita mix and what brand they bought. I looked online and could only find one source, but who wants to pay shipping just to try a recipe. I''m very disappointed!
