Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius/355 degrees fahrenheit).
  2. Grease a large baking tray.
  3. Place Nutri-Grain, Pretzels and nuts into the greased tray. Sprinkle the soup mix and spices over the top of these ingredients and then drizzle with the olive oil.
  4. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon (while in the tray) and then shake tray gently to ensure the mixture is distributed evenly.
  5. Bake for 12 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool completely and then store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for six weeks or more.
  • Nuts and Bolts is a great gifting idea. Add to a jar and use some Christmas ribbon for a festive and affordable gift.
  • Variation ideas
  • This recipe can easily be varied by:
  •  
  •  
  • subbing Nutri-Grain with another breakfast cereal
  • subbing pretzels with rice crisps or another salty treat 
  • using cashews, macadamias or pistachios instead of roasted and salted peanuts/mixed nuts 
  • using Chicken Soup mix instead of French Onion Soup mix
  • using garlic powder instead of paprika
  • adding cumin instead of curry powder (though I’ve got to say I love my nuts and bolts recipe with curry powder)
  • subbing light olive oil for peanut, vegetable, coconut or macadmia oil.
