The ultimate snack mix is crunchy, sweet, and salty all at once. This one is loaded with pretzels, bagel chips, and sesame sticks coated in a buttery mixture of mustard and honey, and it fits the bill.

What to buy: We used Colman’s mustard powder for this recipe. It can be found at most grocery stores.

Game plan: The snack mix can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

3/4 cup mustard powder
4 teaspoons kosher salt

Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Mix together bagel chips, pretzel sticks, and sesame sticks in a large bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
Mix together butter, honey, mustard powder, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined. Pour over pretzel mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
Scatter snack mix in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, stirring occasionally, until toasted and browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then break into bite-size pieces.
