How to Make Praline Nut Chex Mix
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a large, shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Chex cereal, 2 cups pretzels, and 1 cup mixed nuts.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 4-6 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. The mixture will foam up.
- Quickly pour the caramel mixture over the cereal mixture in the large bowl.
- Toss to coat the cereal evenly.
- Spread the mixture in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the caramel is set and golden brown.
- Pour the Chex mix onto a sheet of aluminum foil to cool completely.
- Break apart any large clumps once cooled.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy!
