(Chex) Peanut Butter Snack Mix

Recipe Description

Another easy-to-make Chex mixture. Peanut butter lovers will like this one! Original recipe by Holly Clegg. I clipped the recipe from a newspaper supplement.

Preparation Steps:

I lined a jelly roll pan with Reynolds Wrap RELEASE non-stick foil and made 4 (consecutive) batches and used the same pan for all 4 batches - just wiped the foil off between batches. The RELEASE foil made for quick clean-up. Don't double the recipe or your mixture won't bake properly.

Level of Difficulty:

Easy

Time Needed:

1 hr. 40 min.

Ingredients:

3 T. honey (I used low-glycemic agave nectar)
2 T. butter
3 T. peanut butter
4 c. Chex cereal (assorted wheat and corn - rice will also work - one kind or a mixture - your choice)
2 c. mini pretzels
1/3 c. dry-roasted peanuts

Serves:Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 175°F.

2. Combine honey, butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until smooth. Combine cereal, pretzels and peanuts in a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture and toss to coat. Spread on baking sheet and bake 1-1/2 hours. Makes 6 cups.

Store in the refrigerator.

This sounds good. I love peanut butter, have it every morning on toast,bagles,or muffins, or celery.

I'm eating the chocolate chex mix right now, any recipes for that one? I'm going to make the peanut butter in a few days.

It sounds similar to Puppy Chow (also called Muddy Buddy's I believe) without the chocolate. I might try it for my peanut butter loving dd.
