What’s a road trip without a salty, crunchy, savory snack to pass around? This is a take on the classic Chex mix, with an SKCC twist involving an herby spice blend, spicy and sweet pepitas, and just a hint of lemon zest (we had to!).

This would be a great addition to a pool party, or as a contribution to a summer bbq. In a world where bags of chips and pasta salads dominate summer spreads, this slightly elevated take on a classic is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Once again, this recipe is super riffable. Swap the nut and seed blend for 1 ½ cups of your favorites, or whatever you have in your pantry. Just watch them carefully, knowing that different nuts have different cooking times. No pretzels? Swap them for goldfish or your favorite bite-sized crunchy cracker.
