Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its spooky crunch for up to a week.
- A light sprinkling of parmesan cheese added after baking makes this snack extra fang-tastic!
- Serve this savory snack mix in small cauldrons or decorative skull bowls for a truly vampiric vibe.
- If your oven runs hot, check the mix more frequently to prevent burning, as nobody wants burnt offerings!
