Description

Toffee Chex Mix is the ultimate sweet and salty snack you won’t be able to stop munching. Crunchy, buttery, and easy to make, this crowd-pleaser is perfect for parties, holidays, or whenever you need a little treat.

Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup butter (unsalted)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
½ teaspoon baking soda
Optional: sea salt flakes for topping
Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolates

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, and almonds. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to boil.
Let it boil for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
Pour the toffee mixture over the cereal mix and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even toasting.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with sea salt if using, and let cool completely.
Once cool, break into chunks and add chocolate chips or candies if desired.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Try using a mix of cereals or different add-ins like sunflower seeds or dried fruit for variation.
