Tips and Tricks

Preparing the Pan

Preheat your roasting pan in the oven before adding the butter. This ensures that the butter melts quickly and evenly, making it easier to coat your ingredients.

Even Coating

Gradually add the cereal, mixing as you go. This method helps ensure that every piece gets evenly coated with the buttery seasoning mixture.

Stirring Consistently

Stir your mix every 15 minutes while baking. This helps to prevent any pieces from burning and ensures an even bake throughout.

Cooling Process

After baking, spread your mix out on paper towels. This step not only helps the mix cool down faster but also absorbs any excess butter, preventing it from becoming too greasy.

Storage

Store your cooled mix in an airtight container. This keeps it fresh and crispy for a longer period, allowing you to enjoy it for days.
