Cornbread Chex Mix

Chex

8 cups Corn Chex cereal

2 cups pecan halves

¼ cup butter

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1 pouch (6.5 oz.) cornbread & muffin mix

1 bag (4 oz.) crunchy toasted corn kernel nuts

1 teaspoon salt

Surprisingly hard to find these. Fortunately a gas station came in clutch.


In large microwaveable bowl, mix cereal and pecan halves.

1 2-cup microwaveable measuring cup, microwave butter, sugar and corn syrup uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until bubbling. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until well coated. Sprinkle dry cornbread mix over top; toss until well coated. 

Why yes, yes you ARE dumping cornbread mix into Chex mix. What's so weird about that?


Stir in corn kernel nuts.

Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 5 minutes, stirring every minute, until dry muffin mix dissolves. 

Whrrrrrrr




Spread on waxed paper or foil; immediately sprinkle with salt. Cool. Store in airtight container.

All ready to go to the potluck!

My Rating: 4/5 "I loved the sweetness the cornbread added to the mix. It kept me going back for more! If I made it again I might not include the corn nuts, but that's probably just because they're not something I'm used to eating."
