Honey Sesame Chex Snacks


As you can tell, I haven't been baking a whole lot.  I have gotten into the swing of throwing quick meals together.  However, recently I've gotten the bug to try new things!  Hooray!  Today, I was in the mood for a healthy snack.  I found this yummy recipe from this amazing book I bought from a sales guy that came to my door (yes, soliciting might sometimes work, ha ha!).  The book is 7 Secrets Cookbook by Neva & Jim Brackett.  I made a few simple modifications and it turned out so delish, I can't stop eating it!  The happy news is, it's relatively healthy! It is going to be an awesome snack for the movies or for when hiking.  YUM!

Honey Sesame Chex Snacks
3 Tablespoons honey or agave
3 tablespoons Silk Coconut Milk
1/2 teaspoon onion power
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups Rice or Corn Chex
1 cup pretzel sticks (broken up)
1/2 cup each chopped almonds & sesame seeds

Combine the wet ingredients.  I heated mine in the microwave for a minute or so.  Mix all the dry ingredients and the seasonings in a large mixing bowl.  While mixing the dry ingredients, pour the honey, coconut milk mixture over the pretzels and chex.  Make sure to mix it very well, gathering the sesame seeds that like to sink to the bottom!

Using Non-Stick Spray on a large flat cookie sheet first, make sure to coat the bottom well.  Pour the mix onto the cookie sheet and bake at 250 for about 2 hours. Let it completely cool and then break it up and store it in a cool, dry place.

Enjoy!
