Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c honey nut chex
3 c cinnamon chex
2 c pecan halves
1 1/2 c dried banana chips
1/3 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp banana extract
1/2 tsp rum extract

Steps:

  • 1. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, pecans, and banana chips.
  • 2. In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, uncovered, on High, about 1-1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted and smooth. Stir in extracts. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
  • 3. Microwave, uncovered, on High, 3 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool; break into bite-sized pieces. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripeness is key to the flavor and texture of banana chips. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more caramelized they will be.
  • Slice bananas evenly: Uniformly sized banana slices ensure even cooking. This will prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the banana chips, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will result in uneven cooking and soggy chips.
  • Use a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan: A deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan is ideal for frying banana chips. These cooking tools can maintain a consistent temperature, preventing the chips from burning.
  • Be patient: Frying banana chips takes time. Don't rush the process or the chips will not be crispy. Allow them to cook slowly over medium heat until golden brown.
  • Season to taste: Once the banana chips are cooked, season them with your desired spices and flavorings. This could include cinnamon, sugar, salt, or chili powder.
  • Store properly: Store the banana chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
