Bluegrass State snack mix: Chex Mix elevated with bourbon, bacon, and pecans.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bag (15 oz) Chex Mix® traditional snack mix
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1/2 lb bacon (6 to 8 slices), crisply cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cover two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the snack mix, pecans, and bacon, then set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, simmer brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup over medium heat until it bubbles around the edges. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for 2 minutes. Gently mix in bourbon and chipotle chili powder. Pour over the snack mixture and toss well to coat everything evenly.
  • Spread the snack mixture evenly onto baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, remembering to stir every 5 minutes to achieve a delicious caramelization. Allow it to cool completely for about 1 hour. Break the mixture into pieces and store it covered in the refrigerator.
