Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 cups Cereal squares (like rice or corn squares)
  • 2 cups Pretzel twists or sticks
  • 1-2 cups Plain nuts (pecans or almonds) Use based on preference.
  • 1 cup Butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup Brown sugar Packed
  • 1-2 teaspoons Vanilla extract Adjust based on taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Reduce if pretzels are salty.
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar For churro dust
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda Helps the toffee coat lighter and less sticky.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease if using foil.
  2. In a big bowl, mix your cereal, pretzels, and nuts. Spread it out on the baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. In a saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar and salt. Stir until smooth and bubbling for about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Turn off heat. Stir in vanilla and baking soda. It will foam up. This is desirable.
  3. Pour the hot toffee sauce over the snack mix. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat evenly.
  4. Bake for a total of 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
  5. While warm, mix cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle over the mix, tossing to coat. Repeat this in two rounds.
  6. Let it cool fully before storing to achieve the desired crunch.

Notes

Store in an airtight container once fully cooled to maintain crunch. Can be made up to 3 days ahead.
