Ingredients
– 6 cups of Chex cereal (any mix of Corn, Rice, or Wheat)
– 1 cup of unsalted butter
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)
– A pinch of salt
Equipment Needed
– Large mixing bowl
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (optional for easier cleanup)
– Microwave-safe bowl
– Whisk or spatula for mixing
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). I love starting with a warm kitchen, and the aroma of cinnamon wafting through the air is just divine! While the oven is heating, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, which is super quick and easy. Once it’s melted, whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Remember to mix it well, so you get that sweet flavor evenly spread throughout. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
