    Ingredients

    • 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.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Chili’s Just Declared War on Fast Food Chicken Sandwiches — With Six Variations and a $10.99 Meal

    The Spicy Big Crispy is one of the more balanced options in the lineup — the spicy mayo adds bold flavor without the additional fat and sodium of the Club’s bacon and cheese. If you’re ordering the 3 For Me meal, the bottomless chips and salsa are easy to mindlessly overeat before the main course arrives — asking for the chips after your sandwich comes out rather than at the start is a simple way to enjoy the perk without using it as a pre-meal appetizer. And choosing water or unsweetened iced tea over a fountain drink saves meaningful added sugar while still getting the value of the unlimited beverage included in the meal.

    Five Ways to Use Cottage Cheese That Are Actually Worth the Hype

    Cottage cheese earns its viral moment nutritionally — a single cup delivers around 25 grams of protein, which rivals chicken breast ounce for ounce. It’s also high in casein protein, which digests slowly and keeps you full significantly longer than whey-based sources. Look for full-fat or 2% versions rather than fat-free — the fat helps with satiety and carries the flavor in a way the fat-free version simply doesn’t. If sodium is a concern, give it a quick rinse in a fine mesh strainer, which removes a meaningful amount without affecting texture.
