Hippy Party Mix (Easy Crowd-Pleasing Snack Mix Recipe)

This snack mix is always a hit at parties, for lunches, or game nights with friends.

Every recipe doesn't have to be a kale salad. Sometimes you just need a bowl of something salty, crunchy, and completely irresistible! It's one of those snacks that disappears fast—whether it's sitting on the counter after school, packed in a lunchbox, or shared with friends on game day.

This Hippy Party Mix has been another crowd-pleaser I’ve made and taken to various get-togethers through the years, whether it be a party, game day, holiday gathering, or our girls' card nights. It's ridiculously easy to make—just toss everything together, shake it up, and you're done.

The combination of Bold Chex Mix, Gardetto's, mixed nuts, and a little extra seasoning takes this snack mix to the next level. It's savory, crunchy, packed with flavor, and somehow disappears almost as fast as you can put it on the table.

Is it the healthiest recipe on Hippy Crap? Nope...and that's okay! I believe healthy living is about balance, not perfection. Sometimes the best memories are made gathered around a bowl of your favorite snack mix with family and friends.

Fair warning: you may want to make a double batch because this stuff disappears fast.

I bring this to every girls' card night...and while I can't promise it'll help you win, I can promise there won't be any leftovers. 😊

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bag family size (13.5 oz) Bold Chex Mix (trust me—it has to be the Bold version!) 

• 1 bag family size (14.5 oz) Gardetto's Snack Mix

• 1 cup unsalted peanuts or deluxe mixed nuts

• 1 tbsp Hippy All-Purpose Seasoning

• 2 tbsp garlic powder

• 2 tbsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Pour the Chex Mix, Gardetto's, and mixed nuts into a large bowl or a gallon-size zip-top bag.

2. Sprinkle in the Hippy All-Purpose Seasoning, garlic powder, and Lawry's Seasoned Salt.

3. Toss everything together until the seasonings are evenly distributed. If using a zip-top bag, seal it and gently shake and roll the bag until everything is well coated.

4. Transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container until you're ready to serve.

Tips

• The Bold Chex Mix really makes the difference! It adds a deeper, richer flavor than the original version.

• If you like a cheesier mix, use the Cheddar Chex Mix cheese instead.

• If you want some added heat, sprinkle in some cayenne pepper with the other seasonings.

• Use deluxe mixed nuts for a variety of textures and flavors instead of just peanuts.

• Make it your own. Add pretzels, cheese crackers, bagel chips, oyster crackers, or your favorite crunchy snacks.

• Perfect for every occasion: game day, holiday parties, road trips, camping, movie nights, or girls' night.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
