Ingredients
•12.8 oz box Rice or Corn Chex Cereal
•3 cups assorted nuts (pecans, almonds, peanuts, etc.)
•3 cups pretzel thins or mini knots
•1 cup unsalted butter
•2 cups dark brown sugar
•¾ cup light corn syrup
•1 tsp salt
•2 tsp vanilla extract
•1 tsp baking soda
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Mix: In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, nuts, and pretzels.
3️⃣ Make the Toffee: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
4️⃣ Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.
5️⃣ Coat the Mix: Pour the toffee mixture over the cereal-nut-pretzel mix. Gently fold the ingredients together to coat everything evenly with the toffee.
6️⃣ Bake: Spread the coated mix evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 30-55 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. You can adjust the baking time depending on whether you want your toffee chewy or crispy.
7️⃣ Cool & Enjoy: Let the mix cool completely, stirring occasionally to break up any large clumps. Once cooled, it’s ready to enjoy!
