Homemade Tiki Snack Mix (Recipe)


Honey-glazed peanut are a classic bar snack.  For this Polynesian-inspired version, FOOD & WINE's Melissa Rubel Jacobson mixes the nuts with sweet-salty bacon and chewy glazed pineapple to get all kinds of pupu-platter flavors into every bite.

Ingredients

8 thick slices of meaty bacon
3 cups salted roasted peanuts
4 candied pineapple rings, cut into 1/3 inch triangles
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt

Makes 4 1/2 cups     :     Active: 15 min; Total: 1 hr 15 min

1.  Preheat the oven to 350°.  Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on a rack set over a large rimmed baking sheet.  Bake for about 30 minutes, until the bacon is crisp.  Drain the bacon on paper towels and cut into 1/2 inch strips.
2.  In a bowl, toss the bacon with the peanuts, pineapple, sesame seeds, soy sauce, honey and cayenne.  Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring once, until the bacon is browned.  Season the mix with salt and stir occasionally until cool, then serve.
