Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 4 cups of pumpkin Cheerios
- 4 cups of cinnamon Chex mix
- 2 cups of pretzels, salted
- 1½ cups of almonds, sliced
- 1½ cups of pecans, chopped
- 1½ cups of mini marshmallows
- ½ cup of white chocolate chips

- 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup of honey

- 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
Substitutions And Additions
MIX-INS: There are plenty of different mix-ins you can add.
Chocolate chips, coconut, toffee bits, dried fruit, and 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 the 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 five 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.
