This beloved Chex and Chocolate Party Mix is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for game nights, holidays, or casual gatherings. The recipe combines crispy cereal squares with salty peanuts and chewy raisins, all coated in a buttery, caramel-like glaze made from brown sugar and corn syrup. After toasting in the oven, the mix develops a deep, nutty aroma and a satisfying crunch. Cool chocolate morsels are stirred in at the end, adding pockets of sweetness that contrast beautifully with the saltiness of the nuts. It’s an easy, make-ahead treat that stores well and disappears quickly from the bowl.

Description

This beloved Chex and Chocolate Party Mix is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for game nights, holidays, or casual gatherings. The recipe combines crispy cereal squares with salty peanuts and chewy raisins, all coated in a buttery, caramel-like glaze made from brown sugar and corn syrup. After toasting in the oven, the mix develops a deep, nutty aroma and a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250ðF (120ðC).
  2. In a large roasting pan, combine the Chex cereal, shredded coconut (if using), and peanuts.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Let it boil for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam up slightly.
  6. Pour the hot syrup over the cereal mixture in the roasting pan. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and spread out to cool. Stir frequently while cooling to break up any clumps.
  9. Once completely cool, stir in the chocolate morsels and raisins.
  10. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature.
