Ingredients

• 2 cups mini pretzels
• 2 cups chex cereal (any variety)
• 1 cup peanuts (roasted, salted)
• 0.5 cup almonds (sliced or whole)
• 0.75 cup M&Ms or candy-coated chocolate pieces
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and 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 mini pretzels, chex cereal, peanuts, almonds, and M&Ms. Set this dry mix aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, honey, and brown sugar together, stirring until smooth and fully combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Pour the warm honey glaze over the dry mix in the large bowl. Using a spatula, gently toss the ingredients until all pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the snack mix in the preheated oven for 10 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 tray. The glaze will harden as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy Sarah's Snack Mix at parties, on hikes, or as a midday treat!
