Is it cheaper to make your own Chex Mix?

Homemade Chex Mix Is Cheaper AND More Delicious Than The Store-Bought Stuff . Chex Mix offers variety: the crisp cereal, toasty pretzels, the unique crunch of the bagel chips. This homemade recipe puts the store-bought to shame.

How do you keep Chex Mix from getting soggy?

The best tip for avoiding the sogginess is the make sure to stir up the mixture well each 15 minutes as it bakes . This will allow the chex mix to cook evenly and allow all pieces to get baked and crispy. After baking, make sure to store in a airtight container or Ziploc.

What is pecan pie filling made of?

Pecan pie is a delightful concoction of pecan nuts mixed with a rich, caramelly filling made from eggs, butter, corn syrup, and sugar . The earliest pecan pie can be traced all the way back to the late 1800s, but it really peaked in the early 20th century when Karo™ syrup printed a pecan pie recipe on its bottles.

Why didn t my pecan pie set up?

If you look in the oven and see that your pecan pie crust has turned a perfect golden brown, you'll instinctively want to take it out -- even if the filling is too jiggly or even soupy. Here's the thing to remember: If you're filling hasn't set, it means the bottom of the pie crust isn't fully cooked, either.

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans and Rice Chex Cereal.

In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup and microwave on high for 2 minute, stirring after 1 minute.

Hi - how long does your pecan pie Chex party mix stay fresh ? I’m thinking to include it in Christmas baskets but would want to make it ahead of time ... Thank you
Cyd says:

It should be fine in an airtight container for about 5 days. It doesn't last long at our house, we polish it off within a day or 2. :)

Thanks Cyd :-)
