Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Foster Chex Mix
  1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the Honey Nut Chex, Cinnamon Chex, pecan halves, and dried banana chips. Mix them gently until they are evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, combine the cubed butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Heat on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through until melted and blended into a smooth sauce.
  3. Stir in the banana extract and rum extract until smooth. Pour it over the Chex mixture.
  4. Toss the ingredients gently to ensure every piece is coated. The Chex should look glossy and sticky.
  5. Microwave the coated mixture on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute to promote even cooking.
  6. Spread the Chex Mix onto baking sheets in an even layer and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Transfer your Banana Foster Chex Mix into airtight containers for storage.
