How to Make Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
STEP TWO: In an extra-large bowl mix together Cheerios, Chex mix, pretzels, almond slices, pecans, mini marshmallows, white chocolate chips, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.
PRO TIP: When making a Chex mix, make sure to use your largest mixing bowl.
STEP THREE: In a small bowl whisk together honey, maple syrup, and melted butter.
STEP FOUR: Pour the Chex mix onto a baking sheet and spread out evenly.
PRO TIP: Try to lay it out in a single layer as best you can so it can cool and harden once baked and not stick together. If you need to speed up the process, you can put your baking sheets in the refrigerator.
STEP FIVE: Drizzle honey syrup over Chex mix and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven once marshmallows have started to toast.
STEP SIX: Let Chex mix cool for 5 minutes before placing in a bowl.
PRO TIP: Don’t overmix once you transfer the mix to the bowl; chunks in this recipe are part of the fun. You also don’t want to break the Chex cereal.
