Description
A little spicy, a little sweet and a whole lot of delicious! This is great for gifting or for snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups Cinnamon Chex
- 1½ cups cheese crackers (like Cheez-its!)
- 1½ cups pecan pieces
- 1½ cups lightly salted cashews
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly grease your cookie sheet. Set aside.
- In a big mixing bowl, add in your cereal, crackers, and nuts. Toss together and then set aside.
- In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, add in your butter, brown sugar and cayenne and melt together. Once melted, remove from heat and pour over your cereal mixture. Quickly toss together and then pour out on your prepared baking sheet.
- Pop this in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Remove and cool before storing and/or serving. We keep ours in a big gallon-sized baggie.
Notes
I like to double the cayenne in this recipe for an extra kick! Also, all of the ingredients we use when making this mix are gluten-free. This is a great snack choice for those of you who have eliminated gluten too!
