I was looking for a pumpkin pie recipe, and check out this AWESOME recipe I found over at Pillsbury! As soon as I saw the title of this recipe, I knew I had to make it. The combination of brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice makes this an amazing tasting Chex Mix. For a little variety, I used Honey Nut Cheerios instead of the Honey Nut Chex. Not only is this a wonderful tasting treat, it also smells heavenly! The butter, spices, and brown sugar create a smell that can only make you think happy thoughts….and then want to dive into this delicious Chex Mix full of sugar and spice. This one is definitely going to the office with me tomorrow to share with everyone.
Pumpkin Pie Chex Mix
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups Cinnamon Chex Cereal
2 cups Wheat Chex Cereal
2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios Cereal
8 oz pecans
1. In small bowl, mix brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice; set aside. In small microwave-safe dish, microwave butter on High about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in vanilla. In large microwavable bowl, mix all cereals and pecans. Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly distributed. Add sugar and spice mixture and stir until coated.
2. Microwave uncovered on High 5 minutes or until mixture begins to brown, stirring every minute. Spread on wax paper or a cookie sheet to cool. Store in airtight container.

This sounds amazing! And looks so easy! I’ll have to give it a try!
Great adaptation of the great snack mix!
Love the pumpkin mix! Yum!
What a great idea! Everyone loves Chex Mix
This is great!! I love it!
I’m just not a savory Chex Mix fan, but I LOVE anything with pumpkin. So this sounds amazing!
Hmmm, while on the surface, I feel like I should agree with Mimi’s comment, I’m really having trouble picturing these two flavors together. I love* Chex Mix and I love pumpkin. But I also love beer and Special K and I don’t think I’d put those together. Still, I may have to try this, simply in the name of science.
* love is an understatement.

I can’t wait to try this. Pumpkin Pie is one of my favorites, but my family is not. This can be just for me……….
perfect for Fall Festival potluck at work ! Thank you !
I’m wondering if baking in the oven instead of microwaving would work. Any thoughts?
I think it would work just fine, just not sure what temp and how long to bake it
This sounds AMAZING!!! Do you think it would work with margarine? Like Doris, my family does not love pumpkin, so I would end up eating THE WHOLE THING! I would love to make it a TINY bit more healthy:) . Thanks for ALL of your yummy recipes!
It should work perfectly fine with margarine!
Sound’s absolutely delish. Why is everyone so worried about the butter?? The whole thing is totally fattening, not so healthy & full of sugar, if you want it to turn out great 1/4 cup of butter shouldn’t bother you !?!?
just made this. super easy and delicious! i’m making another batch!
