Churro Chex Mix Recipes

CHURRO CHEX MIX™

Steps:

• Combine Rice Chex™, 1 cup Bugles®, 1 cup graham cracker sticks, and 1/4 cup pecan halves in a large bowl.
• Melt cookie butter and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup cinnamon chips and stir until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and pour mixture over the cereal mixture. Stir gently to coat all pieces.
• Spread mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, separating any larger pieces. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Combine Cinnamon Chex™ with remaining 1 cup Bugles®, 1 cup graham cracker sticks, and 1/4 cup pecans in a large bowl. Add to the cooled mixture and toss gently to combine.

CINNAMON CHURRO CHEX MIX RECIPE

Steps:

• Dump cereal into a large bowl (the bigger, the better - this makes a ton!).
• Place the cinnamon chips and butter together in a medium sized bowl and microwave on high heat for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir, then heat again for 20 seconds. Stir until chips are completely melted and smooth. If you need to microwave them again, just do it for 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between. You want the melted chips to be thin so you can pour it or spoon it over the cereal, not thick and clumpy (which is how they will be if you overcook them).
• Pour melted cinnamon chips over the cereal and mix until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
• In another separate bowl, mix together powdered sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. Pour cinnamon/sugar mixture over the cereal, stirring the entire time, so that all pieces of cereal are evenly coated.
• Spread cereal on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and let cool (or you can eat them warm because that is delicious too!).

CARAMEL-CHURRO CHEX™ MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine rice and corn cereal squares, pretzels, and peanuts in a large bowl; stir to combine. Whisk butter, brown sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl; drizzle over cereal mixture and toss to coat.
• Whisk together white sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over cereal mixture; toss again to thoroughly coat. Add cereal mixture to the baking sheet, and spread out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in caramels, and store in an airtight container.
