Ingredients :
- 4 sticks butter (2 cups)
- 2 cups brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 box corn Chex 12 ounces
- 1 box rice Chex 12 ounces
- 1 cup nuts of choice, optional
Instructions :
Warm up the brown sugar and butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil and stir every now and then. After that, add the baking soda, salt, vanilla, and corn syrup and mix well. It’s going to foam up some. Take it off the heat and set it aside.
Two cups of brown sugar, four sticks of butter, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon of baking soda, and a teaspoon of vanilla
In a big bowl or tray, mix the cereals and nuts (if using) together. Pour the syrup over the mixture and mix it well to cover it all.
1 box of corn Chex, 1 box of rice Chex, and 1 cup of nuts of your choice
Put small amounts of this into a big brown paper shopping bag at a time.
Roll the top down to seal it, and heat it in the microwave for two minutes.
Get the bag out and shake it. Put the food back in the microwave for two more minutes, and then shake it again. Keep the lid closed and hold on to it by the closed top when you shake it so nothing falls out.
Because that’s how microwaves work, this will be very hot.
Pour the hot Chex mix carefully onto waxed parchment paper. Let it cool and dry all the way through. Do it again with any Chex mix that is left. Have fun!
How To Store Homemade Chex Mix :
There is no need to seal the salty Chex mix. You can keep it at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.
Commonly Asked Questions ?
What types of nuts can be added to this snack mix?
You can add a number of different nuts to this mix. I suggest honey-roasted peanuts, pecan halves, walnuts, chopped almonds, cashews, or honey-roasted peanuts.
Can I switch out one of the cereals for something else to add variety?
Of course! To change things up, you can use honey nut Cheerios, small pretzel twists, or Golden Graham cereal instead of one of the cereals. You could also just add one of these when you double the recipe, which you’ll probably want to do after you try it!
Is there an alternative to microwaving the Chex mix?
You can bake it too. It should be spread out on a baking sheet that has been greased or lined. Bake it at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, stirring it every 5 minutes.
How can I make this snack mix even sweeter?
Once the Chex mix has cooled on the wax paper, you can add 1 1/2 cups of candy-coated chocolate pieces, such as M&Ms, to make it chocolate. You can also use regular chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or caramel bits.
