Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex Cereal
- 1 cup Bagel Chips (Gluten-free parmesan garlic recommended)
- 1 cup Pretzels (Gluten-free recommended)
- 1 cup Almonds
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the snack mix.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rice Chex cereal, bagel chips, pretzels, and almonds. Gently stir to mix evenly without crushing the ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, and Sriracha until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Coat Dry Mix: Pour the honey Sriracha butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together so the pieces are evenly coated.
- Bake the Mixture: Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: When the mix is golden brown and aromatic, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. Break apart any large clusters and transfer to a bowl or airtight container for serving or storage.
Notes
- Use gluten-free bagel chips and pretzels to make the snack mix gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha to increase or decrease the spiciness according to your taste.
- Store the cooled mix in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy for up to a week.
- For a nut-free version, omit the almonds and add extra pretzels or cereal.
- Ensure to stir the baking mix every 5 minutes for even coating and to avoid burning.
