Vegan flix mix is gonna be your new favorite snack, guaranteed. Why? Because the new "going out with your friends on weekends" is binge watching Netflix. Don't deny it. There's nothing you would rather be doing then re-watching Breaking Bad or mindlessly watching terrible horror movies, especially over this holiday season. And I've come up with the perfect snack — one that you'll be equally as addicted to.
Get on those stretchy pants and go to town with this salty snack tonight! Even mix it with classic popcorn or pumpkin spice popcorn to round out an epic snack party everyone will be jealous of.
The vegan flix mix recipe is kinda old. I made a couple tweaks which aren't entirely necessary but thought I'd share. In the batch I just made for Christmas 2020 I added about ¼ cup of nutritional yeast to the melted butter as well as a bit of extra cinnamon! I also tossed in salted peanuts that I had and you could use pecans for a little sweetness if you prefer them over cashews.
