CHURRO CHEX MIX™

Churro Chex Mix™ image

My churro Chex™ mix was a hit at my work. Best part is how easily customizable it is! The Scooby-Doo snacks and Bugles® were a fabulous addition and lent a Halloween look to this mix! Helpful hint: you can get a lot of add-ins from a dollar store!

Ingredients

2 cups crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex™)
2 cups original flavor cone-shaped corn snacks (such as Bugles(R)), divided
2 cups cinnamon graham cracker sticks (such as bone-shaped Scooby-Doo snacks)
½ cup pecan halves, toasted, divided
¼ cup cookie butter (such as Trader Joe's® Speculoos Cookie Butter®)
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup cinnamon chips, divided
5 cups cinnamon-flavored crispy rice cereal squares (such as Cinnamon Chex™)

Steps:

Combine Rice Chex™, 1 cup Bugles®, 1 cup graham cracker sticks, and 1/4 cup pecan halves in a large bowl.
Melt cookie butter and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup cinnamon chips and stir until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and pour mixture over the cereal mixture. Stir gently to coat all pieces.
Spread mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, separating any larger pieces. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
