  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 4 hr 10 min
  • Servings 20

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Corn Chex™ cereal
  • 1 package (3.2 to 3.5 oz) sesame rice crunch crackers, broken in half (about 3 cups)
  • 2 cups tiny pretzel twists
  • 1 package (8 oz) slivered almonds (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps

  • 1
    In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, lightly mix cereal, crackers, pretzels and almonds.
  • 2
    In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter on High 30 to 45 seconds until melted. Stir in brown sugar, soy sauce, curry powder and garlic powder. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring gently until evenly coated.
  • 3
    Cook uncovered on Low setting 3 to 4 hours (or on High setting 2 to 2 1/2 hours), stirring every 30 minutes. If desired, keep snack mix warm on Low setting during serving.

  • Stirring is very important to this mixture, as it may scorch where the slow cooker's heater is located. Cooking it uncovered allows the excess moisture to evaporate, making for a crisp and crunchy toasted snack.
