Honey Mustard Homemade Snack Mix ~ Slightly, Sweet and Salty Homemade Snack Mix Flavored with the Perfect Amount of Honey Mustard! One of the Best Snack Mix Recipes!
Is there anyone else that can’t put down a Homemade Snack Mix once you make it? I’m super obsessed with them! A few of my favorites are Caramel Chex Mix, Crock Pot Chex Mix, and Samoa Chex Mix . Now, Honey Mustard Homemade Snack Mix enters the competition. It’s fabulous! It might even be the best snack mix recipe!
I know Honey Mustard is a bit of a hit or miss thing. You seem to either love it or hate it. This snack mix recipe is the perfect amount of honey mustard flavoring so it’s not overwhelming. Therefore, you might sneak it past those who aren’t always a big fan of honey mustard!
My Dad must be a Honey Mustard fan because I sent my Mom home with a bag of this after I made it, so I didn’t eat it all, and she texted me later and told me he couldn’t keep his hands off it. He’d grab a handful, seal the bag, grab a handful, seal the bag again until she finally said just leave the bag open!
I also brought it to the cabin this weekend and guess what, she can’t keep her hands out of the bowl either! She didn’t tell me that part, but I caught her snitching quite frequently!
Speaking of the cabin, I’ve let it sink in that summer is official on it’s way out. We are enjoying one of our last weekends at the cabin before the hustle and bustle of fall returns. We cleaned out the pontoon today and as I was scrubbing I kept thinking this is happening, summer is ending again. I love fall and I might even love the fact that winter will come and I can bundle down at home, but it’s bittersweet. I know Miss K will start kindergarten this fall and things will change.
Soon she will be involved in more things, it will be harder to scoop the kids up and take off for the weekend, weeknights will include homework and all that jazz. I also know that harvest is coming and with that I see less of my husband as he helps out on my family farm. I love the farm, and I hate it all at the same time. Only women with husbands that work on the farm understand this!
Plus, we are crazy and decided to add onto our house this fall, which means the hubs will be trying to work on that this fall too. Sometimes we bite off a bit more than we can chew, but it always seems to turn out fine in the end thankfully!
Like I said the hustle and bustle of fall will be here soon and it seems that the kids are always STARVING when they get home from school aren’t they? It’s like they haven’t ate for days and dinner is way to far away for them, even if it’s only thirty minutes!
Enter this delicious Honey Mustard Snack Recipe. It might be one of the best snack mix recipe ever. A few ingredients and you are set! Plus, it’s perfect for fall football games too!

This is the best snack recipe ever in my opinion but I’m a little partial!

Hey Danny Cajka, wondering if you are still receiving comment notifications?
Christine Holliday says
I would like to use this recipe with my Brownie Troop but I do not have access to an oven. Is it possible to microwave it? Or will it not have the same results?
Julie says
You can certainly give it a shot! After mixing all the ingredients together, microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Spread out on paper towels to cool and then store in an airtight container. I hope it works out for you!

After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there a means you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
