Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Use a jumbo foil pan or a large sheet pan - you want the party mix in a thin layer so it bakes quickly and evenly.
- This mix has a mild spice level - double the chipotle pepper or add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to the mix if you want it spicier.
- Don't add any chocolate until the mix has thoroughly chilled.
