Ingredients

• 4 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 1 cup Dry-roasted peanuts
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and peanuts. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer gently, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the honey mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the pan. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the Honey Snack Mix to an airtight container or serve immediately.
