Notes
Store cooled sweet chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.Add chocolate last minute. If you want to add in M&Ms, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips wait until the mix is done cooking and cooling so the chocolate doesn’t make a mess.Swap or omit nuts. You can replace the pecans with a different nut like peanuts, cashews, or almonds, or omit them completely for those with nut allergies. Use real maple syrup. The fake kind will not yield the same results so make sure to use pure maple syrup. You can also use honey or light corn syrup instead if you don’t have real maple syrup, but it’s not as good.
