Savory Snack Recipe?

cwaggoner07

Every year we go to H's family in Arkansas for a week and I always take 2 snacks just to have around to graze on. I like to do one savory and one sweet. Well, sweet is easy, just do cookies, or bark, or some sort of holiday snack. I'll figure that part out.
For savory last year I did ranch oyester crackers, which I am willing to do again, just wanted to see if anyone had anything different. I don't want to do chex mix, only because I have an awesome recipe but it takes ALL day and I don't really have the time to do it, and I refuse to do a subpar version.

Any recipes???
TIA!

I'd like it to be something that can sit on a counter in a tin for a few days.

How about roasted spiced nuts? Those things are addicting! My mom makes 2 different kinds for Thanksgiving snacks. I can ask her what the recipes are if you'd like.

Buzz - That sounds good! If it's too much trouble I can just do a pinterest search.

Cocoa dusted roasted almonds? Easy and delicious! I'd still consider them savory but I guess they're in the middle?

Ohh, I vote cheeseball - Edie! It's all your fault.

Also, swag, have you done the Pinterest recipe wth pretzels, rolo and pecan? They're amazing. Highly recommend them for a sit on the counter and easily devour treat. I know it's sweet - but they're super easy to make.

I was able to find one of the recipes online and then a couple others that also sound really good. 

This one is basically one that that my mom has made, but you grate the orange peel, rather than zest it in strips:

And these are two spicy nut recipes that sound delicious, which are fairly similar to what she makes, but are a little different:

Hey swag, I made Parmesan crackers from Ina garten on the food channel for my holiday baskets, they were really yummy! Kinda like a savory shortbread!

You could just do a nut mix/tail mix.  I usually use peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios, craisens, and often m&m's.  I don't really add any extra flavors, but you could use flavored almonds to add a little something.  I don't know if it's "savory" but it's definitely not sweet and would be fine in a tin or in a bowl on the counter for a few days.

I make these for parties- if you have a food processor, they come together in seconds. I usually cut them into little Cheese-It sized crackers instead of straws though.

Tail mix would sit on my counter a long long time. Diet food.
