How to Make Favorite Snack Mix
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 15 x 10 baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Chex or Rice Krispies), 2 cups mixed nuts (such as peanuts, cashews, and almonds), and 1 cup pretzel sticks.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
- Pour the brown sugar butter mixture over the cereal mixture in the large bowl.
- Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all the cereal, nuts, and pretzels are evenly coated.
- Divide the snack mix into thirds. Spread one-third onto the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven and stir. Bake for an additional 6 minutes.
- Spread the baked snack mix onto a sheet of waxed paper to cool completely. Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining snack mix.
- Once completely cool, break into smaller pieces and store in an airtight container.
