Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. (1-2 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Pour the melted butter into the spice mixture and stir until well combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

In a large bowl, combine the cereal squares, peanuts, and pepitas. Pour the butter-spice mixture over the cereal mixture and toss gently but thoroughly until evenly coated. (3 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Spread the coated mixture in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)

06

Step
45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting. (45 minutes)

07

Step
30 mins

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. (30 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Once cooled, transfer the Chex mix to a large bowl and gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and raisins. (5 minutes)

09

Step
2 mins

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy! (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter.
Feel free to substitute other nuts or dried fruits based on your preference. Pecans, walnuts, dried cranberries, or chopped dates would all be delicious.
If you prefer a less sweet mix, reduce the amount of brown sugar.
For a vegan option, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
To add more visual appeal, consider adding fall-colored sprinkles after baking.
