6 cups Chex cereal
1 cup mixed nuts
1 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup butter
0.25 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine Chex cereal and mixed nuts, then set aside until the toffee mixture is ready.
- In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup, then bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes without stirring for the toffee to thicken.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and baking soda until well combined.
- Quickly pour the hot toffee mixture over the cereal and nuts, stirring gently to evenly coat everything.
- Spread the coated cereal mix onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer to ensure consistent baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
- Remove from the oven, let the mix cool completely, and then break into pieces before serving or storing.
