Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Dry-roasted peanuts
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and peanuts. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer gently, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the honey mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to combine.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the pan. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the Honey Snack Mix to an airtight container or serve immediately.
