Description

A delicious treat made with Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and pretzels, coated in a sweet caramel glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Rice Chex
  • 2 cups Corn Chex
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and mini pretzels.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup. Let it come to a gentle boil for 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda until foamy.
  5. Pour the caramel glaze over the cereal mix and fold quickly with a spatula to coat evenly.
  6. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  7. While still warm, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture (combine granulated sugar and cinnamon), then toss gently.
  8. Let it cool completely, break apart any clumps, and store in an airtight container.
