Ingredients

• 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 1 cup Honey-roasted peanuts
• 1 cup M&Ms candies
• 1 cup White chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and honey-roasted peanuts. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and salt, stirring until fully combined and smooth. Let the mixture come to a gentle boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal mix in the bowl. Gently toss the ingredients together until they are evenly coated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool completely. As it cools, it will become crisp and crunchy.

Step 9

Once the mix has cooled, transfer it back to the mixing bowl and add the M&Ms and white chocolate chips. Stir gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
