Ingredients
  

  • 8-9 cups Chex Cereal Substitutions: Rice Chex or a combination of Rice & Corn Chex work wonderfully!
  • 1 1/2 cups Nuts Variations: Mix in your favorite nuts for a unique profile!
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Tip: Unsalted butter helps you control the overall saltiness better!
  • 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar Note: Dark brown sugar gives a more robust taste!
  • 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup Alternatives: Golden syrup or honey can be used, but may affect texture slightly.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda Safety: Handle with care, as it can cause hot splatters!
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Salt Tip: A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top adds fantastic extra flavor!

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large heatproof bowl, combine 8-9 cups of Chex cereal with 1 1/2 cups of your chosen nuts.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter with 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of light corn syrup over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp of fine salt, and 1 tsp of baking soda.
  5. Quickly pour the toffee over the warmed Chex cereal and nuts, and fold gently.
  6. Spread the toffee-coated mixture on the baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  7. Let the Toffee Chex Mix cool completely on the pan for 30-45 minutes before breaking into pieces.
