LuAnn's Family Favorites Recipes

Asian Party Mix

Sesame rice crackers and wasabi peas add crunch and fire to this old favorite. Dried green peas coated with wasabi are available by the pound in some supermarkets, often in the bulk foods department. Don't worry if you can't find them, the mix is fine without them. Rice crackers are crunchy and airy, with the mild taste of rice. Look for them in the snack or Asian section of your grocery store. This recipe received OUTSTANDING reviews!
