Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Combine the oyster crackers, rice cereal squares, cheese cracker squares and salted almonds in a large slow cooker and stir to mix.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter, soy sauce, liquid smoke and hot smoked paprika until blended.

3. Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.

4. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours (180 minutes), stirring gently every 30 minutes.

5. For the last 30 minutes, set the lid slightly ajar to let steam escape and help the mix crisp.

6. Turn off the slow cooker and spread the party mix onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

7. Store the cooled mix in an airtight container at room temperature.
