Today, I want to share the recipe for one of my favorite snacks from Hawaii. Trust me—it’ll probably become your favorite, too!
Every year, one of my daughter’s teachers gives the parents homemade Hawaiian Chex Mix. The kids absolutely go to town on those little bags; they actually count down the days to Christmas just to get them! I’ve tried the store-bought versions in Hawaii, but the flavor is never quite the same as his.
I finally decided to try making it myself so we don’t have to wait for the holidays to enjoy it. While mine might not be quite as legendary as his, it’s definitely a close second! I had so much fun making this because you can mix and match whatever you like—pretzels, cereal, nuts, seeds, or even Goldfish. It’s all about your preference. It’s incredibly easy to make, and it lets you bring a little taste of Hawaii home whenever a craving hits.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Notes; you cannot skip the sugar. This needs it for the seasoning to stick with the mix.

- Remove the glaze from the heat. Pour the warm mixture evenly over the two baking sheets.
