Sweet and Salty Chex Mix
Easy to make Sweet and Salty Chex Mix recipe combining a mix of cereals. Rice Chex, Cheerios, Honeycomb and pretzels covered in a sweet and salty sauce made of soy sauce, sugar and garlic. Always a huge hit!
Ingredients
1 box Corn or Rice Chex
1 box Cheerios
1 box Honeycomb cereal
1 bag pretzel sticks
1–3/4 cups sugar
1–1/2 cups vegetable oil
1–1/4 cups butter, melted
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a very large bowl, combine cereals and pretzels. In another bowl, mix the other ingredients until sugar is dissolved. I suggest using a hand mixer because it takes up to 10 minutes for the sugar to dissolve into the oil and butter.
- Pour the sauce over the cereal mixture and then use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together and coat the cereal.
- Transfer everything to a roasting pan or jelly roll pans with edges. Bake, uncovered, 75 minutes or until cereal is crisp. Stir thoroughly every 15 minutes.
Notes
– This recipe makes a large amount so you can always half the recipe.
– For the full recipe, it’s easy to split up the mixture onto 2 sheet pans/jelly roll pans for baking.
– Store in airtight containers. I like to use gallon size ziploc baggies.
