I love having friends who introduce me to new things and then teach me how to make them! And ever since my dear friend over at The Single Gal’s Guide to Entertaining at Home turned me on to spice crispies, I knew I would be making them. And finally, I got around to it! (So what if it has been over a year?!)
The first challenge was trying to figure out where to get all of the ingredients. I was pretty sure I wouldn’t find them at Kroger. Fortunately, I know a little about where the aforementioned blog author shops from time to time, so I decided to swing by Taj Mahal Imports.
I walked into the grocery a little intimidated. I honestly was not even sure what I was looking for, so I decided that since the store was not too large, I would just walk up and down the aisles. Sure–I could have asked someone where to find my ingredients, but where is the adventure in that?!
Thankfully, I found every single thing I needed quickly, and it was not remotely difficult. (Except for the amchoor powder, which I simply forgot. I returned for it later, and the dear store owner gave it to me for free because I had no cash, and he did not want to run a credit card for $1. Very kind of him–I will go back to pay him for it. And you should go see him, too. Very nice man.)
The Ingredients (Mostly)
I went home and got straight to work.
About thirty minutes later, I had a fabulous snack mix! The only mistake I made was cutting the recipe in half. I could easily take down the full recipe in a few days. Oh well. I suppose that gives me an excuse to make them again. And I certainly have enough amchoor powder to do so!
Try this tasty snack! If you like Indian spices, you won’t regret it. It is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Spice crispies would be wonderful with a cold beer on a warm evening. Let me know what you think!
