Ingredients

Scale
  1. 12.8 oz box Rice or Corn Chex Cereal
  2. 3 cups assorted nuts (pecans, almonds, peanuts, etc.)
  3. 3 cups pretzel thins or mini knots
  4. 1 cup unsalted butter
  5. 2 cups dark brown sugar
  6. ¾ cup light corn syrup
  7. 1 tsp salt
  8. 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  9. 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two baking sheets with foil. Spray generously with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Cereal Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine Chex cereal, nuts, and pretzels. Set aside.
  3. Make Toffee:
    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir frequently and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. Finish Toffee:
    Stir in the vanilla extract carefully, then mix in the baking soda. The toffee will bubble up—continue stirring!
  5. Coat the Cereal Mixture:
    Pour the hot toffee over the cereal mixture and gently fold to coat everything evenly.
  6. Bake:
    Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 30–55 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. The shorter the bake time, the chewier the toffee; longer for a crispier version.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    Remove from the oven and stir occasionally until cooled. Once set, transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
