How to make Cinnamon Sugar Chex Mix

1. Prepare. Preheat the oven to 275 F and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Add the Chex cereal, pretzels, and pecans to a large bowl and stir them together.
2. Make the cinnamon caramel sauce. Add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon to a medium sauce pan and heat over medium until the sugars are dissolved, and you have a nice caramel sauce. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes total. Pour the mixture over the top of the cereal mixture, and gently fold it to coat the mixture in the caramel sauce.
3. Bake. Pour the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake it in the oven, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
4. Add the cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, add the remaining brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon and stir them together. Pour the Chex mixture back into the large bowl, add the cinnamon sugar coating and stir it to coat the cereal in the mixture. Enjoy warm, or let it cool and enjoy later.

Cinnamon Chex Variations:

• Nuts. Change the nuts you use to your favorite, you could use cashews, peanuts, or walnuts instead. Leave out the nuts if you want and add an extra 1 cup of pretzels instead.
• Chocolate. After coating the mixture, spread it back onto the baking sheet. Melt some white chocolate chips, or regular chocolate chips in the microwave and then add it to a small ziplock bag. Snip the corner and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the mixture. Let it set, then enjoy.
• More Mix Ins. Add in 1 cup of caramel bits, cookie pieces, or cinnamon chips to the mixture, after baking, for a yummy flavor!
