Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheerios Cereal
- 2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios Cereal
- 2 cups Vanilla Chex Cereal
- 1-½ cup Pretzel Sticks
- ¾ cups Cashews, Roasted And Salted
- ¼ cups Pepitas, Roasted And Salted
- ¾ cups Unsalted Butter
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- ½ teaspoons Coarse Sea Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Turmeric
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Cayenne Pepper
- ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Onion Powder
Preparation
Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 250 F.
In a large bowl, combine the Cheerios, Honey-Nut Cheerios, Vanilla Chex, pretzel sticks, cashews and pepitas. Toss to combine and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, sea salt, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Heat over medium and allow the butter to melt, whisking occasionally. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat.
Pour the dry mixture onto the baking sheets and spread to cover the entire surface. Drizzle the butter mixture on top of both batches and toss so that all of the ingredients are evenly coated.
Place both baking sheets in the oven (one on the top rack, one on the bottom rack). Bake at 250 F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Every 15 minutes give each batch a stir, and rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking time. When done remove pans from oven, set them on a rack and let the mix cool completely. Store at room temperature for 1 week. Enjoy!
