Ingredients

• 2 cups Cheerios (or other small cereal)
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 1 cup Roasted peanuts (unsalted)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheerios, mini pretzels, and roasted peanuts. Set the chocolate chips aside for later.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the warm butter mixture over the cereal and pretzel mix. Use a spatula to gently toss the ingredients until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the pan. The coating will harden as it cools.

Step 8

Once cool, add the chocolate chips and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or airtight container for storage. Enjoy your Little Bits as a snack or party treat!
