I will always be a snack mix fan - in particular this sesame chex mix. We first made this recipe in nearly 7 years ago and I promise I have been obsessed since then. A combination of rice chex cereal, sesame sticks, pretzels, rice crackers, roasted peas, nori, and sesame seeds tossed and baked in a sesame glaze.
Be sure to double or triple batch this recipe because a single batch almost never lasts more than a few days once made. It’s packed with so many textures and flavours, the key to a great snack mix.

Instructions
Heat oven to 275F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
