Week 42 :: Fall Chex Mix

INGREDIENTS:
-1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
-1 cup packed brown sugar
-3 tbsp. pumpkin spice
(I couldn't find pumpkin spice, so I used: 1 tbsp nutmeg, 1 tbsp ginger, 1 tbsp cinnamon) 
-2 tbsp. vanilla extract
-1 (12 oz) box cinnamon chex cereal
-1 (12 oz) box honey nut chex cereal
-4 cups pretzels
-1 (21 oz) bag harvest candy mix / candy corn
-1-2 cups Mini marshmallows

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, spices and vanilla extract.
2. In an extra large bowl, toss together both chex cereal flavors and pretzels. Pour butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss to distribute.
3. Preheat oven to 275°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide mixture on the two baking sheets and spread in even layers. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on wax paper to cool. Add harvest candy mix + mini marshmallows and toss to combine. Store in airtight container.

Rating: 11/5+++

"Notes for Next Time": 2 big batches gone in less than 2 days. Couldn't get enough of this mix! I would love to try and add peanuts and maybe some M&M's the next time I make it, but honestly, it was so tasty as is. Sweet+Salty! The spice blend was perfect.
