Ingredients:

  • 6 cups Mixed Chex Cereal (combination of Rice and Corn)
  • 2 cups (60g) mini pretzel twists
  • 1 cup (130g) honey roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup (150g) red and green M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) flaky sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and mini pretzel twists. Toss gently and set aside.
  2. Place unsalted butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved into a smooth, bubbling mahogany-colored syrup.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and immediately remove the saucepan from heat to prevent scorching.
  4. Pour the hot glaze over the cereal and pretzel mixture, folding gently with a silicone spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mix to a baking sheet and immediately fold in the honey roasted peanuts and M&Ms.
  6. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the top and spread the mix into a single layer. Let it cool for 10 minutes until the glaze sets into a crisp shell.
