Ingredients

Cereal Mix

  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Golden Grahams cereal

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups mixed nuts (such as peanuts, cashews, almonds)
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Syrup Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup salted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Golden Grahams cereals, mixed nuts, and shredded coconut. Set aside for later coating.
  2. Prepare Syrup Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salted butter. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Boil Syrup: Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Vanilla and Coat Mix: Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, then carefully pour the hot sugar mixture over the prepared cereal mix. Toss thoroughly to ensure all components are evenly coated with the glaze.
  5. Store: Once coated, transfer the Sweet Holiday Chex Mix to an airtight container. Store it at room temperature to maintain crispness. Enjoy as a festive snack!

Notes

  • Use salted butter for a balanced sweet and savory flavor; unsalted butter can be used with added salt to taste.
  • Mixed nuts can be customized based on preference; peanuts, cashews, or almonds work well.
  • Ensure the sugar mixture reaches a full boil and cook for the full 2 minutes to properly set the coating.
  • Allow the mix to cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
  • This mix can be kept in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
