How to Make Chex Honey Crunch
- In a 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup margarine, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Lightly grease a large roasting pan (approximately 13x9 inches) with cooking spray.
- Pour 6 cups Chex cereal, 1 cup pretzels (broken into smaller pieces), 1/2 cup sliced almonds, and 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut into the prepared pan.
- Pour the cooled brown sugar mixture over the cereal mixture and stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal and nuts are evenly coated.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Add 1/2 cup of your favorite dried fruit (such as cranberries, raisins, or cherries) during the last 15 minutes of baking. Stir gently to combine.
- Spread the Chex Honey Crunch mixture onto waxed paper or aluminum foil to cool completely. Once cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
