Peanut Butter Banana Bacon Chex Mix
Chex™️ Cereal is a super versatile ingredient, especially when it comes to party snacks. In this version, we added peanut butter, bacon, and banana chips for an Elvis-inspired array of flavors. The sweet honey and brown sugar syrup gets baked right into the cereal and complements the mix-ins perfectly!

Ingredients
12 cups (12-ounce box) unsweetened rice cereal, such as Chex™️ Cereal
8 cooked bacon slices, crumbled
1/2 cup Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/3 cup light honey
1/4 tesp. ground cinnamon

Directions
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place cereal and bacon in a large heatproof bowl and line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
Combine Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator, butter, sugar, honey, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to melt butter and peanut butter; pour hot mixture over cereal and toss to coat. Divide cereal among baking sheets, spreading it out in a single layer.
Bake cereal mixture 15 minutes; use a spatula to toss cereal on hot pan. Return mixture to oven and bake until syrup is no longer wet and cereal mixture is golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks. Toss banana chips into cereal mixture. Store in airtight containers up to 3 days.
