Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds or cashews, toasted)
  • 1/2 cup M&M's (optional, halal-certified) Make sure they are halal-certified

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir constantly until it comes to a gentle boil, then boil for about 2 minutes without stirring.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract immediately.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, pour the Rice Chex cereal and carefully drizzle the hot toffee mixture over it, gently mixing with a spatula.
  6. Transfer the coated Chex onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips and nuts on top while still warm. Allow it to cool before breaking it into pieces.
Serving
  1. Serve in a bowl and enjoy!

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for up to a month. To regain crispiness, warm in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for about 10 minutes.
