This Fall Chex Mix is a sweet and crunchy snack packed with pumpkin spice flavors. Made with Chex cereals, pretzels, nuts, and roasted pumpkin seeds, all coated in a spiced syrup, this baked treat is perfect for autumn gatherings or as a cozy, seasonal indulgence.

Ingredients

3 cups (90g) Rice Chex cereal

3 cups (90g) Corn Chex cereal

2 cups (50g) mini pretzels

1 cup (120g) pecans or walnuts

1/2 cup (50g) roasted pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter (or coconut oil for vegan)

1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar

1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional: 1/2 cup (80g) dried cranberries or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mini pretzels, pecans or walnuts, and roasted pumpkin seeds. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Pour the syrup over the cereal mixture and stir gently to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. If desired, stir in dried cranberries or raisins. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

For extra crunch, add a variety of nuts such as almonds, cashews, or peanuts.

For a sweeter twist, add chocolate chips after the mix has cooled.

For a tropical flavor, add dried pineapple or coconut flakes.

Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
