The Graduation Snack I Had to Recreate.
At my culinary school graduation, there was a dill-flavored snack mix on all the tables, and I kid you not, I could not stop eating it. It was the best savory snack mix I’d ever had.
I’m usually more of a sweets person when it comes to snack mixes. I love white-chocolate-covered cereal mixes and I’m completely obsessed with chocolate-coated popcorn, but eating this throughout graduation had me seriously reconsidering whether sweet or savory wins!
This party mix recipe is my copycat version, and it’s every bit as good as I remember. It’s savory, salty, crunchy, and has the perfect pop of dill. If dill isn’t your thing, you can absolutely leave it out and it’s still SO good. And if you love dill like I do, feel free to add a little extra!
