Honey Sriracha Crunch Recipe

Howdy! Chef Alli Here. Let’s Get You Cookin’….Shall We? ?

I grew up eating my Grandma Lucille’s chex mix. She made it every Christmas in her big roasting pan and I always got to stir it. Everybody loved it and anxiously awaited a container of it as a gift from her.

My little sister, Lori, took over the family chex mix making (as well as baking Grandma Lucille’s Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies for us) so we are still lucky enough to get some crunchy snacks each holiday season.

If you like a crunchy party mix that includes chocolate, be sure to give Salted White Chocolate Crunch, too. I love to make it as a Valentine treat for family and friends.

Recipe Tips and Tricks for Making This No-Bake Snack Mix Recipe

Feel free to substitute agave nectar for the honey in this snack mix. Or, in a pinch, you could even substitute 1/4 cup brown sugar in place of the honey, too.
Use a nice wide bowl (instead of a deep one) when you cook the party mix in the microwave.Since you are going to stir it every 2 minutes, a wider bowl makes it much easier to stir without breaking the snack mix ingredients.
Use metal spoons for stirring the spicy snack mix every 2 minutes. Using stirring tools that are thicker (say silicone spatulas, etc) can definitely crush the snack mix ingredients every time they move.
When spreading out the prepared party mix, make sure most of the pieces aren’t touching each other. If touching as they cool, the crunch ingredients will stick together.
Be certain the snack mix is completely cooled before adding the chocolate candies so they don’t melt.

How to Make Honey Sriracha Crunch in 4 Easy Steps

In a large, wide bowl, combine all the snack mix ingredients, gently tossing well.
In a small saucepan, warm the melted butter with the honey and Sriracha; pour this mixture over the snack mix ingredients, tossing gently to coat everything.
Place the bowl into the microwave; cook for 8-10 minutes on high power, be sure to stir the party mix every 2 minutes.
Spread the prepared snack mix out over a large sheet of foil and let it cool completely. When cool, stir the candies into the party mix, then store in an air-tight container until ready to eat.

What is Sriracha and where will I find it at the grocery store?

Sriracha gets it’s heat from red jalapeno peppers, which are green jalapeno peppers that have ripened from green to red making them much more mild in flavor. That’s why Sriracha sauce is so beloved – it’s only moderately spicy!

You will find Sriracha sauce in the Hispanic section of your local grocer. Store in the fridge with your other condiments.

If I don’t have Sriracha sauce on hand, can I use hot sauce?

You sure can, though keep in mind that hot sauce is much spicier so you may want to decrease the amount used – adjust according to taste.
