- 3 cups rice or corn cereal squares (like Chex)
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 1 1/2 cups honey-roasted peanuts
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee or espresso, cooled
Coffee Mixture:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal, pretzels, and peanuts.
- Prepare coffee mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooled coffee, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
- Combine and bake: Pour the coffee mixture over the dry ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring every 10–15 minutes.
