Banana Foster Chex Mix is a delightful sweet and crunchy snack combining the flavors of banana, cinnamon, and pecans with Honey Nut and Cinnamon Chex cereals. Coated in a buttery brown sugar glaze infused with banana and rum extracts, this microwaved treat is perfect for snacking or sharing at parties.

Ingredients

Scale

Cereal and Nuts

  • 3 cups Honey Nut Chex
  • 3 cups Cinnamon Chex
  • 2 1/4 cups pecan halves
  • 1 1/2 cups dried banana chips

Coating

  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon banana extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, place the Honey Nut Chex, Cinnamon Chex, pecan halves, and dried banana chips. Set this bowl aside while preparing the glaze.
  2. Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the cubed butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stopping to stir once halfway through to ensure even melting. After microwaving, stir in the banana extract and rum extract thoroughly.
  3. Coat the Mix: Pour the warm glaze mixture over the cereal, nuts, and banana chips in the large bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to evenly coat all the ingredients.
  4. Microwave to Set: Place the large bowl with the coated mixture back in the microwave and heat on high for 3 minutes. Stir every minute to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  5. Cool and Store: Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and spread the Banana Foster Chex Mix evenly on baking sheets. Allow to cool completely before storing in airtight containers to preserve crispness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a large microwave-safe bowl to prevent spillover during stirring and microwaving.
  • Stirring frequently during microwaving helps avoid burning the sugar mixture.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute rum extract with vanilla extract for a milder flavor.
  • Store the mix in airtight containers at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • This snack is great for parties, lunchboxes, or anytime you want a sweet crunchy treat.
