WooHoo!! Just love different snack mixes, and this one is tasty, too! :) I added about 1/2 c. more of the wasabi peas and the peanuts, for good measure. I also added the dry spices to the melted butter/soy sauce combo, before pouring over all. I'm so glad I tried this party mix, and have tucked it away, so I can make it again! Thanks for sharing, K in LA. -
This is delicious! I made a couple changes based on what I had on had and my family's preferences, but basically followed the recipe. Thanks so much. -
My favorite snack!<br/><br/>Thanks to Best of 2011 Cookbook Official Game I picked this recipe to try.<br/><br/>I loved this snack! What a great spicy and sweet snack to have.<br/><br/>Would not change a thing! -
I made half a recipe and this is very good. I could only get Wheat Chex at the store and won't do that again. This definitely would be better with the Rice Chex. -
Fantastic stuff! I love the way the flavors combine, giving everything a hint of the wasabi from the peas and honey from the peanuts. It's a really perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. Be careful, it's addictive.

My favorite cookbooks are River Roads I & II - published by the Baton Rouge Junior League - just the best of the best!
While I am a single woman, I love to cook and share recipes. My friends always ask me why I cook just for me - well, I gotta eat! And, I would much rather have something homemade than fast food or frozen entrees.
Bon Apetit
