Ingredients
- 3 cups rice or corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups mini twist pretzels
- 1 cup roasted, salted cashews or peanuts
- 1/4 cup salted butter (1/2 stick)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 4 - 5 ounces peanut butter candies, such as Reese's pieces (about 3/4 cups)
- 3/4 cup candy corn
- 1/2 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
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.
