1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c butter
1/4 c light corn syrup

Steps:

  • 2. In 2-quart saucepan, heat sugar,butter and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around edges. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Cool 2 minutes. Carefully stir in bourbon(I add a little more) and chipotle chili powder( I omit this and add 1 teaspoon zest of lime). Pour over snack mixture; toss until evenly coated. Spread snack mixture on pans. Bake 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes,to caramelize mixture. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Stale or low-quality ingredients will not produce the best-tasting Chex Mix. Use fresh nuts, pretzels, and cereal.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When baking the Chex Mix, make sure to spread it out in a single layer. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir the Chex Mix frequently. While baking, stir the Chex Mix every few minutes to prevent it from burning.
  • Add the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce last. This will help to keep the Chex Mix crispy.
  • Season to taste. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste, if desired.
