Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix Recipe
This Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix Recipe is simple, fun, and full of flavor. It’s a perfect fall snack for everyone to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 1 cup pretzels
- 1 cup pecans or almonds
- ½ cup butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven
- Set your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, add Rice Chex, Corn Chex, pretzels, and nuts. Mix them gently so everything blends well.
Make the sweet coating
- In a saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Add brown sugar, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir well until smooth and fragrant.
Combine everything
- Pour the sweet mix over your dry mix. Stir slowly to coat every piece. Make sure everything is covered evenly.
Bake it
- Spread the mix evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 40–45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. This helps it bake evenly and stay crispy.
Cool it
- Take it out and let it cool completely. Once cool, add white chocolate chips if you like.
Store and enjoy
- Keep your mix in an airtight jar or container. It stays fresh for up to a week.
Notes
Use fresh pumpkin spice for the best flavor.
Add a pinch of salt for a sweet-salty balance.
Don’t overbake or the mix may burn.
You can add candy corn or M&M’s for a fun twist.
Mix gently so the cereal pieces don’t break.
