Maple Snack Mix

• 6 slices extra crispy bacon, crumbled (optional)

• 6 cups Chex cereal or something like it

• 1 cup peanuts

• ⅓ cup Mount Cabot Maple maple syrup

• 3 tablespoons melted butter

• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• ½ teaspoon sea salt

Maple’s got moves. Sweet, salty, spicy and crunchy, this mix is an addictive addition to any snacktime stack.

1. In a small saucepan, bring maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of butter to a bubble. Let it boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat then gently stir in remaining butter.

2. Pour slowly over the chex and peanut mixture, tossing to evenly coat the cereal and nuts. Mix in bacon and sprinkle with sea salt to finish.

3. Be your own best friend and hide a jar of it for tomorrow.
