Chex mix coated with a buttery brown sugar toffee coating
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups rice or corn chex
- 2 cup Saltine minis
- 1 cup assorted unsalted or lightly salted nuts*
- 1 cup pretzel sticks or mini knots
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Position rack in the center of your oven. Preheat to 225 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.**
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cereal, nuts, Saltines, and pretzels. Set aside.
- Place a large saucepan over medium heat, and melt the butter.***
- Once the butter has melted, stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes, and then remove from the heat.
- Whisk in vanilla extract, and then add the baking soda, mixing well. The toffee will foam. Continue whisking until well-combined.
- Pour the hot toffee over the cereal mixture, and carefully fold to coat the cereal mixture with the toffee mixture. The cereal mixture doesn't have to be perfectly coated.
- Spread the cereal mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- Carefully stir the cereal to coat with melted toffee.
- Continue baking for 15 minutes, stir, and then bake for another 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and then toss one more time.
- Spread into an even layer, and let cool.
- Break into pieces to serve.
Notes
- *You can swap in an extra cup of cereal, crackers, or pretzels in place of the nuts.
- **I use a half sheet pan. If you don't have a baking sheet that's that large, use two smaller baking sheets.
- ***You'll need a pan that will give you enough space for the toffee to foam up when you add the baking soda.
- ***Nutrition values are estimates.
