Ingredients
Scale
Snack Mix
- 1 (12.8 ounce) package chocolate rice squares cereal (such as Chex®)
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ¾ cup Toffee Coffee Drink Mix, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) to prepare for baking the snack mix.
- Prepare Cereal: Place the chocolate rice squares cereal in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Butter and Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with ½ cup of the Toffee Coffee Drink Mix. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Coat Cereal: Pour the butter and toffee coffee mixture over the cereal. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the cereal pieces.
- Bake: Transfer the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined large rimmed baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking and toasting.
- Add Remaining Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the hot snack mix to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Toffee Coffee Drink Mix over the mix and toss well to coat evenly.
- Cool: Allow the Toffee Coffee Snack Mix to cool completely before serving, so it crisps up nicely.
Notes
- Be sure to stir the cereal halfway through baking to prevent burning and ensure even flavor distribution.
- Allow the mix to cool completely for the best crunchy texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute chocolate rice squares cereal with a similar chocolate-flavored cereal if needed.
