Discover the Irresistible Sweet and Salty Chex Mix Recipe crunchy flavorful and easy to whip up for parties or cozy movie nights ideal gatherings
Ingredients
Scale
6 cups Chex cereals (Rice Chex and Corn Chex)
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup mixed nuts (peanuts and almonds)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup or honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips or white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup and crisp edges.
In a very large bowl, combine the Chex cereals, pretzels, and nuts. Toss to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts), melt the butter with brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in vanilla and a tiny pinch of salt until glossy and cohesive (about 2 minutes).
Pour the warm glaze over the mix. Use a spatula to fold and toss until everything is evenly coated and glossy.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared sheet.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to promote even browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan. If using chocolate chips, sprinkle or drizzle after cooling and wait a few minutes for the drizzle to set.
Once fully cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
A cozy, crowd-pleasing sweet-and-salty Chex mix glazed to glossy perfection; quick to throw together for movie nights, gifting, or late-night snacking.
