Recipe Name: THE ULTIMATE TRAIL MIX Category: APPETIZER Serves: 6
SOURCE MARY BELL'S COMPLETE DEHYDRATOR COOKBOOK
2 Cup jerky, cut in 1/2-inch pieces 2 Cup salted beer nuts 1 Cup dried sweet or dill pickle, cut in 1/4-inch pieces 1 Cup salted sunflower seeds 1 Cup pumpkin seeds 1 Cup dried shredded coconut 1/4 Cup sesame seeds (optional)
What more could you want--jerky, beer nuts and pickles? This combination was a unanimous hit. Sweet and/or dill pickles are cut into small (1/4 - 1/2-inch) pieces and dried until chewy. Ground meat jerky is my first choice for this recipe because it's easier to chew. Vary the ingredients depending on your personal preferences.
Mix together all ingredients. For short-term storage, use sealable plastic bags. For long-term storage, place in refrigerator or freezer.
These tiny cheddar biscuits are a delicious snack for cocktail parties. Beware - once you start, it's difficult to stop noshing on them! Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 12 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 32 Minutes. Makes 9 dozen wafers (108 servings).
1 In a large bowl, mix together the butter, Cheddar cheese, pecans, cayenne pepper and salt until well blended. Gradually mix in flour, using your hands to work in the last bit. The result will be a stiff dough much like shortbread. Form the dough into logs about 1 inch thick, and 10 inches long. Wrap each log in waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Unwrap the chilled logs of dough, and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Place slices about 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. 3 Bake for exactly 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm and slightly browned at the edges. Allow wafers to cool for 1 minute before removing from the pan.
Note: The logs of dough freeze exceptionally well, so you can keep a few in the freezer and bake up a fresh batch whenever you like. I have also used walnuts or almonds in place of the pecans.

Found this one online at Fiery Foods:
Sweet Potato Chips Dusted with Chimayo Red Chile
This snack is a hot twist on party chips. I have had great success in substituting sweet potatoes for potatoes in many recipes.
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/ 8- inch wafers Vegetable oil for deep frying 1 tablespoon New Mexican hot red chile powder
Heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a deep skillet . Separate the potatoes into 6 portions. Fry each batch, turning once, for 1 minute or until they are golden. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chips to a paper towel to drain and cool. Continue until all potato chips are fried and cooled. Place the red chile powder in a medium sized plastic bag. Again working in batches, place the chips in the bag and close. Shake the bag gently to dust the chips with the powder. After each batch is dusted, t ransfer to a napkin-lined basket and serve.
