Scale

Mix Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Toffee Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cereal mixture.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Sugar: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar until the mixture is fully combined and bubbly, creating a smooth toffee base.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the toffee flavor.
  4. Coat Cereal: Pour the Chex cereal into a large bowl. Drizzle the warm butter and sugar mixture over the cereal, gently folding it in until all pieces are evenly coated. Add chopped nuts if using and mix gently.
  5. Bake the Mixture: Spread the coated cereal evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toffee coverage.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the baking sheet and allow the Toffee Chex Mix to cool completely before serving or storing. This step helps the toffee harden and the mix to crisp up.

Notes

  • Use any variety of Chex cereal: rice, corn, or wheat work equally well.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the chopped nuts.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the mix fresh and crunchy.
  • Make sure to stir halfway through baking to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
  • Allow the mix to cool completely before serving to achieve the best texture.
