Crunchy Curry Snack Mix

This is a trail mix that is curry flavored. You can definitely taste the spices in this mix and it is very delicious snack.

Ingredients:
6 tbsp unsalted butter (I used Smart Balance for this which isn't included in the facts)
2 tbsp curry powder
2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
5 cups rice chex cereal
5 cups corn chex cereal
1 cup tiny pretzel twists
1/3 cup lightly salted peanuts

Directions:
1. Place the butter in a 5- or 6- quart slow cooker. Cover and cook until melted, about 5 minutes on high. Add the curry powder, soy sauce, sugar, paprika, cumin, and salt; mix well. Add the rice chex, corn chex, pretzels, and peanuts. Mix well.
2. Cook uncovered about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is crisp and fragrant, 3-4 hours. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let cool completely.

Note: I changed the ingredients to have multigrain cheerios and a little less chex cereal. I'm pretty sure you can add rye chips if you'd like. I also added raisins and dark chocolate chips after the mixture was finished cooking.
