Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 (17.9-ounce) box crunchy corn and rice cereal 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup land o lakes® butter 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 250°F. Spray roasting pan with no-stick cooking spray. Place cereal in prepared pan. Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil (8 to 9 minutes). Continue cooking, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add baking soda; mix well. Pour syrup mixture over cereal; toss gently until well coated. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, or until coating is set. Spread mixture onto waxed paper. Cool 10 minutes. Break apart. Store in container with tight-fitting lid.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your snack mix the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Choose a variety of nuts and seeds: Different nuts and seeds have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will make your snack mix more interesting. Some good options include almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits: Dried fruits are a great way to add sweetness and chewiness to your snack mix. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, cherries, and apricots.
  • Use a variety of spices: Spices can add a lot of flavor to your snack mix. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and chili powder.
  • Be careful not to overcook the snack mix: Overcooked snack mix will be hard and chewy. Cook it until the nuts and seeds are golden brown and the dried fruits are plump and juicy.
  • Let the snack mix cool completely before storing it: This will help the glaze to set and the snack mix to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy glazed snack mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, potlucks, and road trips. It is also a great way to use up leftover nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a snack mix that everyone will love.
