Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and pretzel twists. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt.
Bring the butter mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, allow it to cook without stirring for about 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the hot syrup over the prepared cereal mixture, and use a spatula to gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated mix onto the prepared baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After baking, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Add the mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips to the mix, gently tossing to distribute them throughout.
Allow the Chex mix to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Nut-Free Chocolate Chex Mix!
