In this recipe, I used Corn Chex, mini twist pretzels, Rice Chex, Cheerios and dry roasted peanuts.

Gently stir them up, then drizzle a mixture of butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon over the top. The the trick is to cook them uncovered in the slow cooker. This keeps the moisture from building up in the slow cooker.

Spread the Chex Mix on a sheet pan to cool.

Then sprinkle in M&M’S.
