A cozy, crunchy autumn snack featuring vanilla Chex cereal coated in a spiced butter and sugar mixture, finished with a drizzle of white chocolate. It’s a quick, crowd-pleasing treat perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Vanilla Chex Cereal
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Spice Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Mini Pumpkin Seeds or Chopped Pecans (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two large baking sheets with paper towels.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, stirring constantly until dissolved and smooth (2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in pumpkin spice and salt. Add optional nuts or seeds if using.
  4. Place cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm butter-sugar mixture over the cereal and gently fold to coat evenly without crushing the cereal.
  5. Divide the coated cereal evenly between the two prepared baking sheets, spreading into a single layer.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and gently stir to break up clumps.
  7. Let the cereal cool completely on the pans (10-15 minutes) to allow the coating to harden.
  8. Microwave white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (1-2 minutes total).
  9. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled Chex mix.
  10. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is set.
  11. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate for better melting and flavor. Ensure the cereal is completely cool before adding chocolate to prevent melting. Stir the mix halfway through baking for even browning. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
