This snack mix is coated in a simple brown sugar and butter sauce that adds the perfect touch of sweetness. We love to serve this at parties - the bowl disappears quickly and everyone asks for the recipe.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Pour the half of the cereal onto each sheet pan and sprinkle evenly with the pecans.
Add the butter and brown sugar to a small sauce pan over medium low heat and let melt, stirring often. Bring mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly over the cereal and nuts and stir gently to combine.
Bake for 10 minutes and then carefully stir the mixture. Bake for 5 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Break apart any large chunks and serve immediately or store in an airtight bag until ready to enjoy. Stays fresh for about 1 week.
Notes
This recipe lasts for at least a week in an airtight container and may be fine longer - we always eat it too fast to test.
