8 cups Chex cereal (any mix of rice, corn, and/or wheat)
-
1 1/2 to 2 cups pretzels

1 to 1 1/2 cups cheese crackers

1 cup roasted cashews

6 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
-
1/4 cup honey
-
3 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, cheese crackers, and cashews.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in honey, sriracha, and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer while stirring constantly.
-
Pour the hot mixture over the cereal mix and gently stir until evenly coated.

Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
Adjust the amount of sriracha to your heat preference. For extra crunch, toss in additional roasted nuts or seeds. You can also drizzle with extra honey after baking for a touch more sweetness.
