This time of year I seem to make a lot of different recipes that use pumpkin as a main ingredient. Here’s one I just got and even though I haven’t made it yet I know it’s going to be great. One of the nice things about it is that it’s done completely in the microwave. It will last up to 2 weeks in an airtight container so it’s perfect to have around the house for those unexpected holiday guests.
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 Cups Cinnamon Chex cereal
- 2 Cups Wheat Chex cereal
- 2 Cups Honey Nut Chex cereal
- 8 oz pecans
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice; set aside.
- In small microwave-safe dish, microwave butter on High about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in vanilla.
- In large microwavable bowl, mix all cereals and pecans.
- Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Add sugar and spice mixture and stir until coated.
- Microwave uncovered on High 5 minutes or until mixture begins to brown, stirring every minute.
- Spread on wax paper or a cookie sheet to cool.
- Store in airtight container.
Since Walmart just slashed their price for rice and corn chex, I’m going to try substituting them for the cinnamon and honey nut chex. Obviously it won’t taste the same as the original recipe but who wants to make things exactly like the original recipe.
