Watkins Chex Maple Party Mix image

I first tasted this sweet, different version of Chex mix at a Watkins home-demo party. Almost everyone went home from the party with a copy of this recipe. The maple flavor extract is the secret ingredient. Plan ahead - once cooked, this will need to cool before serving.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted (1 stick)
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons maple extract
8 cups Chex cereal (any flavor - they used a mixture of corn, rice, and wheat flavor)
1 cup mixed chopped nuts, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter or margarine in a large microwavable bowl big enough to hold all of the cereal& nuts later (about 2 quarts)- don't put the cereal& nuts in yet, though.
  • If your microwave is very small, you may need to make half batches.
  • Once melted, quickly whisk in brown sugar and maple extract.
  • Stir in the cereal and the nuts until coated and return bowl to microwave and cook on HIGH heat 4-5 minutes, stirring after every minute.
  • Spread out mix onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper and let cool.
  • Break apart and store in an airtight container.
