Description

Churro Chex Mix is a delightful sweet and crunchy snack mix that combines the classic flavors of cinnamon and sugar with crispy rice and corn cereals, pretzel sticks, and mini graham cracker pieces. Baked to perfect crispness and coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar syrup, this treat is perfect for parties, dessert snacking, or anytime you crave a sweet and salty combination.

Ingredients

Scale

Cereal Mix

  • 6 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups corn Chex cereal
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup mini graham cracker pieces

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rice Chex cereal, corn Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, and mini graham cracker pieces. Gently toss to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Melt Butter and Prepare Coating: Place the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Melt completely, then add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes a smooth syrup.
  4. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor into the cinnamon sugar syrup.
  5. Coat the Snack Mix: Pour the warm cinnamon sugar mixture over the combined cereal and snack mix. Toss carefully to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the buttery cinnamon syrup.
  6. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes at 250°F, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even caramelization and crispiness.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the mix to cool completely on the pan. Once cooled, break apart any clumps. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to keep fresh and crunchy.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, dust with additional cinnamon sugar after baking.
  • Mix in chocolate chips or candy pieces once the mixture has fully cooled.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
