A homemade snack mix brings together crunchy whole-grain cereals, crackers, roasted edamame, and cashews. A quick glaze of melted butter, honey, soy sauce, and fresh lime zest coats every bite to create a salty and sweet flavor profile. It works well as a party appetizer or a midday lunchbox treat. The slow roasting process ensures maximum crunch and locks in the bright citrus notes.
1Melt the butter, honey, soy sauce, and grated lime peel in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix the shredded-wheat squares, broken whole-grain crackers, roasted edamame, and cashews in a large bowl. Pour the warm butter mixture over the dry ingredients and toss well to coat everything evenly.
2Spread the coated mixture evenly across two large rimmed baking sheets. Bake at 275°F for 30 minutes, making sure to stir the mix and rotate the pans halfway through the cooking time. Let the snack mix cool completely on the pans before serving.
