It’s Thanksgiving week – can you believe it?! I’ll be honest and tell you I can hardly believe it’s the end of November, let alone Thanksgiving week! Where the heck has this year gone? I’m bringing this delicious recipe to you just in time for your holiday feast. I can almost bet you’ve got another trip or two to the grocery store in your future in the next couple of days. While you’re there pick up what you need to make this Crispy Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix. It will be the perfect addition to your menu.
Iv’e teamed up once more with my friends over at Attune Foods and today I’m featuring the Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice. You may have seen me use this product (that I swear by for all your crispy rice needs) before in my Peanut Butter Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats, Chocolate Buttercream Kiwi Tart or Salted Dark Chocolate No Bake Crunch Bars. All of the recipes I’ve developed are phenomenal (if I do say so myself) and it doesn’t end there. I’m over the moon about this snack mix I created. I took the pumpkin spice rice crispy treat recipe, modified it slightly (by removing the peanut butter) and elevated it by adding all sorts of yummy goodness. This is one of those ‘once you start snacking you can’t stop’ snacks. Definitely give it a try, and if you do, I’d love to hear what you think!
