1. Compose the ultimate mix. Get out a big bowl and start gathering everything you want as the base for your snack mix that will fare well in the oven. (You’ll want to hold off on any chocolate or dried fruit for now.)
This list will get you started:
Chex in all of its iterations: corn, rice, wheat, and, if you’re going sweet, honey nut
Nuts, broken or mini bagel chips, and bite-sized pretzels or pretzel sticks
Cheerios or any other cereal of your choosing, like Kix, Crispix, or Life
Goldfish, Fritos, or Bugles (yes, Bugles)
Coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, and pepitas
Consider any tasty, bite-size morsel in your pantry to be fair game. Make sure that there are no duds in your mix -- otherwise, your guests are going to scavenge for the good parts and you’ll be left only with the undesirable leftovers (rye chips, anyone?).
