Step-by-Step Instructions for Toffee Chex Mix

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Stir gently as it melts. Once fully melted, add 1 cup of brown sugar and let it bubble for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Pour 8 cups of Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the warm toffee mixture over the cereal and fold it in gently.
Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Allow the Toffee Chex Mix to cool completely on the baking sheet for 20-30 minutes before serving.
