Bugles and hot sauce. Say it isn’t so. I ate a huge bowl of this snack mix and didn’t even feel bad about myself.

Spicy Southern Snack Mix
(pappy spiced party mix)
serves 6-8

What you need:
2 cups small pretzels
2 cups Bugles
4 cups oyster crackers
2 cups roasted in-shell peanuts
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons Pappy & Company Barrel-Aged Pepper Sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
freshly ground black pepper

What to do:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet pan with aluminum foil, set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and toss to ensure even coating of butter and seasonings. Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 60 – 75 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, or until oyster cracker edges begin to turn golden brown.

Remove baking sheet from oven, allow mixture to cool before serving. Leftovers, if any, can be stored in an airtight container.
