This delicious Toffee Chex Mix is a sweet and crunchy snack perfect for parties or a cozy treat at home. Coated in a buttery brown sugar toffee glaze and baked to perfection, it combines the satisfying crunch of Chex cereal with caramelized sweetness. You can also add chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Toffee Coating

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

Mix

  • 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the coated cereal mixture.
  2. Melt Butter and Make Toffee: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter thoroughly. Stir in the brown sugar until the mixture is bubbly and smooth, ensuring the sugar is well dissolved.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt to add depth of flavor to your toffee coating.
  4. Combine with Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted toffee mixture over the 4 cups of Chex cereal. Gently fold the cereal and optional chopped nuts until all pieces are evenly coated with the toffee.
  5. Bake the Mixture: Spread the coated cereal evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking and to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Toffee Chex Mix to cool completely. Once cooled, break apart any clusters and serve as a sweet snack.

Notes

  • Use any variety of Chex cereal such as rice, wheat, or corn according to your preference.
  • Chopped nuts are optional but add a nice crunch and flavor contrast.
  • Stir halfway through baking to promote even coating and prevent burning.
  • Allow mixture to cool fully for best texture and flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep crunchy.
