Sweet 'n' Salty Nuts 'n' Bolts

These Sweet 'n' Salty Nuts 'n' Bolts are instantly loved by anyone who tries them. They are crunchy and caramelized from the honey. And oh so perfectly sweet and salty. I can’t (and will not) stop eating them.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F.

  • In a very large bowl (or some sort of large vessel - I use my water bath canner) combine the cereals, pretzels, corn chips, peanuts, wasabi peas and corn nuts.
  • In a large measuring cup or a bowl, combine the melted butter, honey and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly and immediately pour over the nuts ’n’ bolts mix.
  • Toss to combine using a long wooden spoon, or your hands, or a tossing motion with the bowl. Everything should be evenly coated.
