15 oz bag chex mix traditional snack mix
1 c pecan halves
1/2 lb bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c butter
1/4 c light corn syrup
2 Tbsp bourbon

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 300^. Line two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil. Spray foil with canola oil. In large bowl, mix snack mix, pecans and bacon(I use the whole pound of bacon, lover that I am-lol);set aside.
  • 2. In 2-quart saucepan, heat sugar,butter and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around edges. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Cool 2 minutes. Carefully stir in bourbon(I add a little more) and chipotle chili powder( I omit this and add 1 teaspoon zest of lime). Pour over snack mixture; toss until evenly coated. Spread snack mixture on pans. Bake 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes,to caramelize mixture. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl to mix the Chex mix so that you have plenty of room to stir and coat the cereal.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and the Worcestershire sauce is added before pouring the Chex mix into the bag. This will help to evenly coat the cereal.
  • Be careful not to overcook the bacon. It should be crispy, but not burnt.
  • If you don't have any bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey or even rum.
  • Add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the Chex mix for a little extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the Chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
