Ingredients for The Honey Glazed Chex Mix Recipe

There are several things needed to make this dish delicious. I usually use the following ingredients to make honey glazed Chex mix easily.

 

• 4 cups of Rice Chex cereal
• 4 cups of Corn Chex cereal
• 2 cups of pretzels
• 1 cup of mixed nuts
• 1/2 cup of honey
• 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

I usually use brown sugar in this recipe. You can add honey syrup instead of brown sugar to the list. The honey syrup will work as sugar but it is more healthier. So, you can go with whatever you want.

 

 

 

Step By Step Recipe Guide

If all the ingredients are ready, we can start the cooking process. Follow my simple 6 steps for the easy honey glazed chex mix recipe.

 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature ensures that the honey glaze doesn’t burn while the mix becomes perfectly crispy.

 

 

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, pretzels, and mixed nuts. Stir gently to ensure an even distribution of all the ingredients. Don’t go rough this might break the ingredients into very small pieces.

 

 

Step 3: Make the Honey Glaze

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey, brown sugar, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

 

 

Step 4: Coat the Mix

Pour the honey glaze over the Chex mix, stirring gently to ensure every piece is well-coated. Be careful not to break the cereal pieces.

 

 

Step 5: Bake the Chex Mix

Spread the coated Chex mix evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.

 

 

Step 6: Cool and Store

Once the Chex mix is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.

Make sure to keep it at room temperature for an hour before storing it in the refrigerator. You can store it in the freezer for longer usage.
