Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • Be careful not to burn the honey. If you cook it at too high a temperature, it will lose its flavor and become bitter.
  • Don't overcook the Chex mix. It should be crispy, but not hard.
  • Add the Chex mix to the honey mixture while it is still warm. This will help the Chex mix absorb the flavor of the honey.
  • Let the Chex mix cool completely before storing it. This will help it stay crispy.
  • Store the Chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
