TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling YIELD: 4-3/4 quarts.
Tortilla chips, chili powder and cayenne pepper lend to the Mexican flavor of this snack mix, while corn syrup and brown sugar add a bit of sweetness. I like to package it in holiday tins to give as gifts.—Beverly Phillips, Duncanville, Texas
