Bunco Snack Mix

Have you ever played bunco?  I remember as a child my mom trying to explain to me the rules of bunco.  She used to ” sub” in a neighborhood bunco group.  When I moved to Southeast Iowa, I joined a bunco group and was so happy I did!  Joining a bunco group is such a great way to meet new friends!  If you have ever played bunco, then you know that it is a dice game!

This month was my turn to host bunco.  I have brainstormed something ” Dice-like” to make for a few months.  You know me, If I have the opportunity to make some ” crafty food” I totally will!

I thought I would make a ” Bunco” snack mix with mini cookies that look like dice!  This recipe ended up being easy peasy!  I just needed to do a little brainstorming on how I would pull this off.

After doing some ” googling” on how to successfully make a square cookie.  I decided on this “ simple shortbread” cookie recipe. I simple just used a butter knife to cut the cookies into squares.

next, I wanted to find a frosting recipe that ” hardens” on the cookies.  After reading some boards online, I simply mixed powdered sugar with some lemon juice and a bit of water to make my frosting.

I placed mini chocolate chips on the cookies to make them look like dice and let them dry overnight!

I made a ” snack” mix by baking pretzels, popcorn and nuts wish cinnamon and sugar.  I then added dried fruit and my dice cookies!

I think it was a big hit!  I was thankful that I was able to host bunco one last time before I move!  I have really loved living in Southeast Iowa and have made some friends I hope to keep around for a long time!

I’m hosting Bunco group next week and would love to make this. Did you just sprinkle the nut, pretzels and popcorn with cinn/sugar? What temp and how long did you bake it?

Let me think. ( as it has been over a year since I made this) I sprinkled the nuts. Pretzels. Etc. with cinn/sugar ( and drizzled with a small amount of canola oil. I baked at 300 for about 30 minutes? All I remember is that I followed instructions similar to ones you would follow if you were making chex mix. ( Hope that helps)
