PUMPKIN SPICE CHEX MIX INGREDIENTS
You’ll need:
- 4 cups pumpkin Cheerios
- 4 cups cinnamon Chex mix
- 2 cups pretzels, salted
- 1½ cups almond, sliced
- 1½ cups pecans, chopped
- 1½ cups mini marshmallows
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
MIX-INS: There are plenty of different mix-ins you can add. Chocolate chips, coconut, toffee bits, dried fruit, nuts are all great options. Try adding caramel chips to this easy recipe for a fun twist and to really boost up the fall flavor.
CHEX: If you can’t find cinnamon Chex cereal at the grocery store, you can substitute classic Chex for it.
HOW TO MAKE THIS PUMPKIN SPICE CHEX MIX RECIPE
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it 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 Chex mix on the baking sheet and spread out evenly in a single layer.
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 the oven once the 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.
HOW TO SERVE
Enjoy this sweet snack anytime you have the munchies. The delicious pumpkin spice flavor is a great addition to family gatherings during the holiday season. Add a big bowl of this pumpkin pie spice Chex mix treat on the table at Halloween parties, Thanksgiving, or other holiday parties.
