Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel sticks
- 1 cup Cashews
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup Golden raisins
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, cashews, and sliced almonds. Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and olive oil. Mix well until fully combined.
Pour the spiced butter mixture over the cereal and nut mixture. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Spread the mixture out onto a large, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper 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 Chex Mix cool completely. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the golden raisins for a sweet pop of flavor.
Transfer the Moroccan Crunch Chex Mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
