Snack Mix Ingredients
- 1 (12.8 ounce) package chocolate rice squares cereal (such as Chex®)
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ¾ cup Toffee Coffee Drink Mix, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) to prepare for toasting the snack mix evenly.
- Prepare Cereal: Place the chocolate rice squares cereal in a large bowl, making sure it is ready for coating.
- Mix Butter and Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with ½ cup of the Toffee Coffee Drink Mix. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Coat Cereal: Pour the butter and Toffee Coffee Drink Mix mixture over the cereal. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure the cereal pieces are evenly coated with the buttery toffee coffee mixture.
- Bake: Transfer the coated cereal to a parchment-lined, large rimmed baking sheet. Spread it out in an even layer to promote even toasting. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure the cereal toasts evenly without burning.
- Add Remaining Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the hot snack mix to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Toffee Coffee Drink Mix over the warm mixture and toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Cool: Allow the Toffee Coffee Snack Mix to cool completely on a large surface or bowl before serving to let the coating set and the flavors meld.
Notes
- Be sure to stir the cereal halfway through baking to prevent burning and promote even toasting.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Cool the snack mix completely before storing to maintain its crunchy texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- This snack mix is perfect for parties, gifting, or anytime sweet snacking.
