Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Dry-roasted peanuts
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and peanuts. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer gently, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the honey mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the pan. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the Honey Snack Mix to an airtight container or serve immediately.
