Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 6 cups Corn Chex cereal
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Packed brown sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Soy-free chocolate chips
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and chopped pecans. Set the bowl aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute without stirring.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the hot caramel mixture over the cereal and pecans in the mixing bowl. Gently toss until the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake the coated cereal mixture in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.

Step 9

After 1 hour, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Chex Mix to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, melt the soy-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

Step 11

Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled Chex Mix. Allow the chocolate to set before breaking the mix into clusters.

Step 12

Store the Soy-Free Chocolate Chex Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
