Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Shreddies cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Shreddies cereal, mini pretzels, and pecans. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm gingerbread glaze over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl, tossing gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool completely on the baking sheet. The snack mix will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, break any large clumps apart and transfer the snack mix to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored for up to one week.
