How to Make Chex Nut Snack Mix
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Rice Chex cereal and 3 cups mixed nuts. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
- Stir frequently until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Carefully pour the melted mixture over the cereal and nut mixture, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large, greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden brown and the coating is set. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into smaller pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
