Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the mix evenly.
  2. Melt Butter and Make Toffee Sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar continuously until the mixture is well combined and bubbly, forming a smooth toffee base.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt thoroughly to infuse flavor into the toffee mixture.
  4. Combine with Cereal: Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the cereal and nuts (if using), gently folding to coat all pieces evenly without crushing the cereal.
  5. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring a single layer for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to redistribute and prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the Toffee Chex Mix to cool completely on the baking sheet. This helps the toffee set and achieve a crunchy texture. Serve once cooled or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Adding chopped nuts is optional but adds texture and flavor; walnuts or pecans work well.
  • Stir gently to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.
  • Ensure the mix cools completely before storing to maintain crunchiness.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
