This Wasabi Snack Mix recipe is a twist on the classic popcorn and cereal snack mix. Thanks to the wasabi almonds, it has just the right kick to it.
Parties are more fun when there are snacks involved, am I right? Whether it’s a tailgating party, a Christmas party, Fourth of July – whatever, food makes it more fun.
My recipe for Wasabi Snack Mix is made with snacking favorites like pretzels, popcorn, and rice cereal and is a great addition to snack bars.
What makes it different from other snack mixes? Blue Diamond BOLD Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds.
Ingredients
For this spicy snack, you need the following ingredients:
- 1 can Blue Diamond BOLD Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds
- 3 cups rice squares cereal
- 3 cups popped pop corn
- 1 cup pretzels
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon curry
- 1 Tablespoon soy-sauce
Instructions
Making it is a cinch. You start making the base of popcorn, pretzels, and rice cereal.
Then you put a small pot on low heat and melt some butter, add soy sauce, honey, and curry powder.
Then you toss the seasoning with the base and bake low and slow – 200 degrees for about 45 minutes.
Once it has cooled completely, you toss in a can of Blue Diamond BOLD Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds. The hint of sweetness and soy in the base mix is complemented by the WOW of wasabi from the Blue Diamond almonds.

About Almonds
Did you know that almonds are among the lowest-calorie nuts? They are also the highest tree nut in six essential nutrients: protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin E, riboflavin, and niacin. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fat. (Monounsaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels in your blood which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke.) These are some good reasons for eating almonds.
