Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Small pretzel twists
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.5 cups Butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzel twists, and pecans. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Step 4
Stir in the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Step 5
Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Toss everything together gently until all pieces are evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 6
Spread the snack mix evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will firm up as it cools.
Step 9
Once cooled, break the mix into clusters (if necessary) and transfer it to a serving bowl or airtight container for storage.
