Margarita Fiesta Mix Recipe


Margarita Fiesta Mix Recipe
This is so great as an "adult" snack, but can also be made child friendly. I made it for a Super Bowl party AND a Cinco de Mayo party this year!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons tequila
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 envelopes instant margarita mix, from 3 1/2 ounce package
  • 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups Wheat Chex cereal
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 cup bite-sized pretzel twists
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or cherries

Directions
  1. Heat oven to 250 degrees.
  2. In an ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in the oven.
  3. Stir in tequila, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper and dry margarita mix.
  4. Stir in cereal, nuts and pretzel carefully, until evenly coated.
  5. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in cranberries.
  7. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes.
  8. Store in an air-tight container until ready to serve. Makes 10- 1 cup servings.
  9. For cinco de mayo party, I served 10-1 cup servings in individual margaritas glasses that I salted the rims of. (Just run lime wedge on rim and dip into a shallow dish of bar salt.)
  10. ***For kid-friendly version, substitute 2 tablespoons of lime juice for the tequila.***
  11. ***If you aren't a fan of one the particular cereals, use 9 cups of whichever one you like. Or a combination of 2 to make 9 cups.***

Gets my vote!!!


Gotta try this one - nice "twist" on the usual nut snack mix!


Gets my vote too....


I so agree with the others! We're big on Chex Mix especially in the winter curled up with a blanket, a movie & the fire. Will give this one a try for sure.
