Scale
Main 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 prepare for baking the snack mix.
- Prepare Cereal: Place the chocolate rice squares cereal in a large bowl, making sure the bowl is big enough to toss ingredients without spilling.
- 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 the mixture until it is well blended and smooth.
- Coat Cereal: Pour the butter and toffee coffee mixture over the cereal in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the buttery mixture.
- Bake: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the coated cereal onto the sheet and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to evenly toast all pieces.
- Add Remaining Toffee Coffee Drink Mix: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the hot cereal mixture back into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Toffee Coffee Drink Mix over the warm snack mix and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Cool: Allow the snack mix to cool completely on the counter before serving, enabling it to crisp up properly and for flavors to meld.
Notes
- Ensure even coating of cereal with the butter mixture for best flavor distribution.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Stirring halfway through baking helps achieve uniform toasting and crunchiness.
- Cooling completely before serving will ensure the snack mix is crispy, not soggy.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
