Crunchy, salty and totally addictive, this Slow Cooker Party Mix is truly one of the best snack foods ever! Whether you’re making food for gameday or packing school lunches, this easy to follow ‘hands-free’ recipe is sure to take your snack game to the next level!
I am a huge lover of party mix recipes but I must admit, I can roll my eyes when folks make their own watered down, healthy version of the recipe. Come on… the fun of having something salty and crunchy is that you just grab a handful, take a sip of your soda or spirit, and enjoy the party!
My friend’s mother shared a similar recipe to this one with me about 15 years ago. I used her recipe for years, but eventually I wanted to find a less ‘hands-on’ version to make life simpler. This Slow Cooked Party Mix is easy to make thanks to the magic of the Crock Pot, and you don’t have to babysit your oven at all!
Whether you’re hosting game night, movie night, or a Superbowl Watch Party, this Slow Cooker Party Mix is the PERFECT thing to snack on! With just 10 simple pantry ingredients, and 10 minutes of preparation, you can sit back and enjoy this crunchy, salty treat in no time!
