Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c honey nut chex
3 c cinnamon chex
2 c pecan halves
1 1/2 c dried banana chips
1/3 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp banana extract
1/2 tsp rum extract

Steps:

  • 1. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, pecans, and banana chips.
  • 2. In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, uncovered, on High, about 1-1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted and smooth. Stir in extracts. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
  • 3. Microwave, uncovered, on High, 3 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool; break into bite-sized pieces. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. Ripen bananas have a sweeter flavor and are easier to mash.
  • Don't overcook the banana mixture. Overcooking will make the mixture thick and gooey.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help prevent the mixture from burning.
  • Stir the mixture constantly. Stirring constantly will help prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the cereal last. Adding the cereal last will help prevent it from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Bananas Foster Crunch Mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it is also a fun and festive treat to share with friends and family. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a special treat for a party, Bananas Foster Crunch Mix is sure to please everyone.
