GG Crispbread Chex Mix-Like Recipe


I wanted to see if I could do it. Could I make the awful tasting, low calorie, high-fiber GG Crispbread crackers into a Chex Mix-like snack? I think I did!  However, the trade-off is butter.  You do need to use at least 4 tablespoons of light butter to get enough coating on the thick crackers.  If you are willing to trade the fat content for the fiber- then go for it!  The mix can also be used to top salads to soups.

Ingredients
One package GG Crispbread (broken into small bite size pieces)
4 tablespoons light salted butter
1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion salt
4- 5 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon adobe seasoning
dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1/2 cup of unsalted mixed nuts
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Break up crispbread into small bite size pieces as uniformly as possible.  In a glass bowl, microwave 4 tablespoons of butter until liquid (about 15-30 seconds).   Add all the seasonings and stir.  Add crispbread and stir well until coated.  Add peanuts and stir well until coated.


Spread onto a nonstick baking sheet.  Bake for 25-30 minutes until liquid is absorbed.  Remove from oven and let cool in pan for five minutes.  Cover large plate or baking sheet with paper towels.  Transfer mix and allow to cool.  Enjoy!  Store in airtight container.


Guard your mix.  It's tasty.  My husband appeared and started eating all the peanuts!
