How to Make Sweet And Salty Snack Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line three 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cereal, nuts, and pretzels. Mix well to distribute evenly.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter completely.
  4. Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Pour the melted butter and brown sugar mixture over the cereal mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
  6. Divide the coated snack mix evenly among the prepared jelly roll pans.
  7. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir gently.
  8. Continue baking for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the snack mix is lightly golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, break apart any large clumps and store in an airtight container.
  10. Enjoy your delicious and addictive Sweet & Salty Snack Mix!
