Lunch: Spicy-Sweet Pretzel Mix

One handful is never enough of this crunchy bar snack, which goes great with pomegranate soda.

Ingredients

2 c. thin pretzel sticks
1 c. natural almonds
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. dark-brown sugar
.13 tsp. cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss together pretzels and almonds.
In a small saucepan, bring butter, sugar, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon water to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour over pretzel mixture in bowl; gently toss to combine.
Spread pretzel mixture in a single layer on prepared sheet. Bake until almonds are crisp, about 20 minutes, tossing occasionally. Cool on sheet before serving. (To store, keep at room temperature, up to 5 days.)
