Snack Mix Ingredients
- 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 ensure it is ready for baking the snack mix.
- Prepare Cereal: Place the chocolate rice squares cereal in a large mixing bowl to prepare for coating.
- Mix Butter and Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with ½ cup of the Toffee Coffee Drink Mix, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is well combined to form a flavorful coating.
- Coat Cereal: Pour the butter and toffee coffee mixture over the cereal. Toss the cereal well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the rich toffee coffee sauce.
- Bake: Transfer the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined large rimmed baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking to promote even toasting and prevent burning.
- Add Remaining Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the hot snack mix to a large bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Toffee Coffee Drink Mix over the warm cereal and toss again to coat evenly and enhance the flavor.
- Cool: Allow the snack mix to cool completely before serving. This helps it crisp up and ensures the flavors meld perfectly.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Stir halfway during baking to avoid burning and ensure even toasting.
- Allow the snack mix to cool fully for optimal crunch.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped nuts or drizzle with melted chocolate after baking.
