A crunchy, sweet-savory blend of pretzels, nuts, chocolate chips, and cinnamon with a honey glaze.
# Ingredient List:
→ Base
01 - 3 cups mini pretzel twists
02 - 2 cups rice cereal squares (e.g., Chex)
03 - 1 cup roasted almonds
04 - 1 cup honey-roasted peanuts
→ Coating
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
06 - 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
07 - 1/4 cup honey
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Garnish
10 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
11 - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
# Steps:
01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine pretzel twists, rice cereal squares, almonds, and honey-roasted peanuts.
03 - Melt unsalted butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
04 - Pour warm coating evenly over the combined base ingredients. Gently toss until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
05 - Spread mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
06 - Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the slightly cooled mix so they adhere without fully melting.
07 - Once fully cooled, dust the mix evenly with powdered sugar to create a snowy appearance.
08 - Transfer to a large serving bowl or portion into individual cups for presentation.
