How to Make Chex Pumpkin Pie Crunch

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter on high for 30 seconds, or until melted. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 cups Chex cereal (any variety), and 1/2 cup pecan halves.
  4. Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal and pecan mixture. Stir until evenly coated.
  5. Add the brown sugar and spice mixture to the cereal mixture; stir until everything is well combined.
  6. Microwave uncovered on high for 5 minutes, stirring every minute, until the mixture begins to brown and is fragrant.
  7. Spread the Chex mix onto wax paper or a baking sheet to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
