Cashew Crunch - CRAZY good Coconut & Cashew Chex Snack Mix! Sweet & salty in every bite. SO addictive! Cashews, coconut, and Crispix cereal tossed in a sweet brown sugar syrup made from brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and baking soda. Makes a ton. Great for parties and easy homemade holiday gifts. #chex #chexmix #cashews #snack #crispix #coconut #partyfood
In a large bowl, combine cereal, cashews and coconut.
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour over cereal mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
Pour cereal mixture into a 9x13-inch pan. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.
Pour onto wax or parchment paper to cool. Break into pieces.
Notes:
Can substitute any variety of Chex cereal for Crispix. This would be some cinnamon Chex cereal!
Feel free to leave out the coconut if you aren't a fan.
This snack mix can be made ahead of time and stored in an air-tight container. I would say it should last at least a week in an air-tight container.
