Get ready to make the most addictive snack mix of your life. This homemade Spicy Jalapeño Garlic Snack Mix is loaded with crunchy cereal, pretzels, and crackers, all coated in a savory, buttery seasoning with a serious kick of jalapeño and garlic. It’s incredibly easy to bake a huge batch, and it's a thousand times better than anything you can buy in a bag. Perfect for game days or parties—be warned, you won't be able to stop at one handful. Description (narrative 300-500 words): There's a certain magic to a good homemade snack mix. It's a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing snack that's welcome at any gathering, from holiday parties to summer road trips. While store-bought is an option, it often tastes stale or is covered in a bland, powdery seasoning. Making it at home is the only way to go, and this recipe is the ultimate version for anyone who loves a good spicy kick. The secret isn't in the mix of crackers and cereal, it's all about the seasoning. Instead of the typical Worcestershire-based sauce, we simplify and elevate the flavor with our Bravado Spice Jalapeño & Garlic Seasoning. Tossing the crunchy ingredients with melted butter and a generous amount of this seasoning coats every single piece with the fresh, green heat of jalapeño and a robust, savory garlic flavor that makes it impossible to stop eating. We debuted this recipe at Market for Makers in Houston, and it was almost instantly all gone. Baking it low and slow toasts every component to perfection and infuses the flavor into every nook and cranny. The result is an incredibly crunchy and satisfying spicy snack mix recipe that will have everyone asking for your secret.

Recipe Note
- The Mix-Ins: Feel free to swap things out. You can use different cereals, add nuts like pecans or cashews, or toss in some bagel chips. It's a great "clean out the pantry" recipe.
- For a Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free pretzels, gluten-free crackers, and a certified gluten-free variety of Chex cereal (like Rice or Corn Chex).
- Make it Cheesy: For an extra layer of savory flavor, toss the mix with ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese along with the butter and seasoning before baking.
