Ingredients
- Rice Chex cereal
- Corn Chex cereal
- Wheat Chex cereal
- Unsalted Butter
- Light Brown Sugar
- Light Corn Syrup
- Vanilla Extract
- Salt
- English Toffee Bits
- Pretzels
- Nuts (Pecan halves, chopped walnuts, or sliced almonds)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In your largest mixing bowl, gently combine your Chex cereals. If you're adding pretzels or nuts, toss them in now too and mix well.
- In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the light brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt, and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and maintain a steady, gentle boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the pure vanilla extract. Then stir in about half of your English toffee bits.
- Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the dry cereal mixture in your large bowl. Gently fold and stir until every piece is coated in the toffee.
- Divide the coated Chex mix evenly between your two prepared baking sheets and spread it out into a single layer.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring thoroughly every 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
- After 1 hour, remove the baking sheets from the oven and sprinkle the remaining English toffee bits over both sheets, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Leave the Chex mix spread out on the baking sheets to cool completely, then break any larger clumps into smaller pieces.
