Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and raisins. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and ground cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly—this is normal.
Pour the hot caramel mixture over the cereal, pretzels, and raisins in the mixing bowl. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even coating.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the mix to cool completely on the pan. The caramel will harden as it cools.
Once cooled, break up any large clumps and transfer the mix to an airtight container or resealable plastic bags for storage.
Enjoy your chewy cinnamon raisin Chex mix as a sweet and crunchy snack!
