This Crabby Snack Mix is simple, zesty and perfect for a crowd!

Crabby Snack Mix

Happy weekend everyone! Welcome back to Simple Saturday. Today, I’m sharing my number one requested summer snack mix a.k.a. Crabby Snack Mix.

Crabby Snack Mix

Old Bay is one of my favorite spices. This zesty blend of herbs and spices is added to anything and everything at the BHK . If you’re a regular follower of the blog, you may remember the stories of my boys and their adventures crabbing when they were growing up. Talk about kids having fun! They would catch ’em, I would cook ’em! And they were always steamed with some Old Bay. Since the boys always loved the flavor in the crabs, it was a no-brainer we would have to create an Old Bay inspired snack mix.

Crabby Snack Mix

This Crabby Snack Mix is unbelievably simple and perfect for a crowd. We change up the mixture every now and then depending on what we have extra in the cabinets, but today’s recipe is our usual concoction. The Old Bay is zesty on it’s own, but we add a little cayenne for some added heat. This mix is not only perfect for summer, but perfect all year long! Enjoy friends!
