Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large glass bowl combine the pretzels, rice chex mix, and pecans. Gently stir all the ingredients together.
- Next combine the butter, sugar, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Bring the heat to medium and cook the mixture to a boil.
- Set a timer for two minutes and continuously stir the mixture until the timer goes off.
- Pour all of the sauce mixture over the dry ingredients and fold the sauce in until the dry ingredients are completely covered by the sauce.
- Gently transfer ingredients onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour into an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for an hour. Stir every 15 minutes during the hour.
- Take the chex mix out of the pven once it is finished baking and let it cool before serving. Once the chex mix has cooled, you can add in M&Ms or chocoalte chips.
Notes
- Store cooled sweet chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Add chocolate last minute. If you want to add in M&Ms, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips wait until the mix is done cooking and cooling so the chocolate doesn’t make a mess.
- Swap or omit nuts. You can replace the pecans with a different nut like peanuts, cashews, or almonds, or omit them completely for those with nut allergies.
- Use real maple syrup. The fake kind will not yield the same results so make sure to use pure maple syrup. You can also use honey or light corn syrup instead if you don’t have real maple syrup, but it’s not as good.
