Homemade Chex Mix
The base of this recipe is a mix of cereal, pretzel, and bugles all tossed together in a sugary glaze!
The glaze is made up of only three ingredients: butter, brown sugar, and vanilla! That’s it!
Once you toss the base in the sauce, all that’s left is to bake it for a half hour at 300°.
After it’s been baked, add the additional fun toppings and enjoy! This halloween recipe is a keeper! It’s a crowd favorite too!
Make it your own!
I love the blend of candy corns, peanut butter m&m’s, and peanuts, but feel free to make this recipe your own!
Some other toppings that would be delicious include Reese’s Pieces, Candy Corn Pumpkins, Cashews, regular m&m’s, or popcorn would all be great in this recipe!
