Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the mix evenly.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Sugar: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar until the mixture is fully combined and becomes bubbly, creating the toffee base.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the toffee flavor.
  4. Coat Cereal: Place the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the cereal and gently fold to coat each piece thoroughly. Add chopped nuts if using, folding them in evenly.
  5. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated mix onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure all pieces crisp evenly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the Toffee Chex Mix to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving to achieve maximum crunchiness.

Notes

  • Use any variety of Chex cereal for different flavor combinations like rice, corn, or wheat Chex.
  • Chopped nuts are optional; consider pecans, walnuts, or almonds for added texture.
  • Store cooled mix in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the nuts lightly before adding to the mix.
  • Stirring halfway through baking ensures even toffee coating and prevents burning.
