The Cote family shortbread recipe shall remain top secret, but New Westminster Coun. Jonathan Cote shared a Chex Mix recipe that's a favourite in his home.
Cote Family Chex Mix
1 cup small pretzels
6 cups Crispix cereal
1 cup salted peanuts
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup liquid honey
1 tsp vanilla
Measure first three ingredients into large oven-proof container.
Combine brown sugar, butter and honey in saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to boil. Boil gently, without stirring, for five minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal mixture. Stir well to coat. Bake in 250 degree oven for one hour, stirring well every 15 minutes. Immediately turn out onto cookie sheet.
