My book club met for a brunch potluck today, so I thought this cereal mix would be a great dish to share. Everyone enjoyed the crunchy, vanilla-scented mix! It was incredibly easy to throw together; I loved that I only needed to use my microwave for cooking.
Ingredients
6cups Rice Chex cereal (I used Wheat Waffles from Whole Foods)
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 T pure maple syrup
2 t pure vanilla
Directions
1. Measure cereal and pecans in large microwaveable bowl.
2. In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave butter uncovered on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
3. Add brown sugar and maple syrup; microwave uncovered on high for 30 seconds, until mixture is boiling.
4. Stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal and pecans, stirring until evenly coated.
5. Microwave uncovered on high for 3-4 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread on waxed paper or foil (I didn’t have time so I skipped this step). Store tightly covered.
