Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup Toffee bits
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 1 quarter cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Instructions
Prepare two large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and mini pretzel twists. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt. Heat until the mixture is bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the instant espresso powder and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the hot mixture over the cereal and pretzels in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss with a rubber spatula until the pieces are evenly coated.
Transfer the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spreading it out into an even layer. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Chex mix.
Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly across the mix while the chocolate is still wet.
In a small bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the Chex mix for a final touch.
Let the mixture set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once completely set, break the mix into clusters and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
