Ingredients

• 3 cups pretzels
• 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
• 2 cups mini cheese crackers
• 1 cup honey-roasted peanuts
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzels, Chex cereal, mini cheese crackers, and honey-roasted peanuts. Stir gently to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir constantly until the mixture starts to bubble and becomes smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Immediately pour the warm mixture over the snack mix in the bowl. Use a spatula to toss everything together, ensuring the dry ingredients are well-coated with the caramel mixture.

Step 6

Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even coating and baking.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the snack mix to cool completely. As it cools, it will crisp up.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips over the cooled snack mix and gently toss to combine.

Step 10

Transfer the cooled snack mix to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack whenever you like!
