By popular demand, I am posting one of my all-time favorite snack mix recipes. It never fails, whenever I make this mix, I am always asked for the details of the recipe. During the holidays, I usually pack this lip-smackin’ snack into decorative jars to pass along as a homemade gift from the kitchen. Light, buttery, and full of that scrumptious honey flavor, this sweet treat is a winner. Make a big batch and keep a watchful eye as it cools on the kitchen counter. The mix has a tendency to disappear as the minutes tick by … Irresistible!
Honey Nut Snack Mix
6 cups Chex or Crispix cereal
1 1/4 cups mini pretzels
1 cup nuts (peanuts, lightly chopped pecans, or lightly chopped walnuts)
1/3 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
Coat a 13×9″ pan with cooking spray. Add cereal, pretzels, and nuts; set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and honey. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil and continue to boil for 5 minutes, DO NOT STIR. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Carefully pour the hot syrup over the cereal mixture, stirring until well coated.
Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour; gently stirring every 15 minutes to distribute the syrup evenly over the mix. Let cool on cookie sheets lined with parchment or wax paper. Store in an airtight container.
