📋 Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Rice Chex Cereal	4 cups
Corn Chex Cereal	4 cups
Unsalted Butter	1/2 cup
Light Brown Sugar	1 cup
Ground Cinnamon	2 tsp
Pure Vanilla Extract	1 tsp
Powdered Sugar	1/2 cup

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Combine the Cereals

Place the Rice Chex and Corn Chex in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

2. Make the Cinnamon Syrup

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble gently.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Coat the Cereal

Pour the warm cinnamon mixture over the cereal.
Use a spatula to stir gently, ensuring every piece is fully coated without crushing the cereal.

4. Add the Powdered Sugar

Transfer the coated cereal mixture to a large zip-top bag or a clean paper grocery bag.
Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake until every piece is beautifully dusted.

5. Cool & Serve

Spread the Churro Chex Mix on a baking sheet to cool for 5–10 minutes.
Once dry, serve immediately or store for later—if it doesn’t disappear first!

💡 Tips & Variations

Make it extra crunchy: Spread the mix on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F (120°C) for 20 minutes.
Add-ins: Mini marshmallows, white chocolate chips, or cinnamon chips are great extras.
