We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Step 2: Add the cereals, pretzels, and cashews in a single layer.

  • Step 3: Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high to melt, about 1 minute.

  • Step 4: Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and whisk well until combined.

  • Step 5: Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss gently until evenly coated. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool either on the sheet tray, or on a counter lined with paper towels to absorb some of the butter.

  • Step 6: Stir occasionally.

  • Step 7: When completely cool, put cereal mixture into a large bowl and add the peanut butter candies, candy corn, and chocolate chips. Toss gently on the baking sheet.
