Better Than Anything Chex Mix
Ingredients
-
8 cups Chocolate Chex cereal
-
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
-
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
-
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
-
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 cup Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, mini size
-
1 cup miniature marshmallows
-
1/2 cup caramel bits (by the chocolate chips in baking aisle. Or chop up regular caramels)
-
1 tablespoon heavy cream
-
1/2 cup milk chocolate baking chips (or more if you are a huge chocolate fan)
-
1/2 cup vanilla (white) chocolate baking chips
-
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Directions
-
Into large microwavable bowl, measure cereal; set aside. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil.
-
In
2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, butter and
corn syrup uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute,
until melted and smooth. Stir in baking soda until dissolved. Pour
caramel mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Microwave on
High 3 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread on cookie sheet. Cool 10
minutes. Break into bite-sized pieces.
-
Make
sure Chex mixture is cool to the touch (so candy doesn't melt.) Evenly
sprinkle mini peanut butter cups candy and miniature marshmallows over
Chex mixture.
-
In
small microwavable bowl, microwave caramel baking bits and cream
uncovered on High about 1 minute or until chips can be stirred smooth.
Use a spoon or fork to drizzle over snack. Microwave the milk chocolate
baking chips next, starting with 20 seconds and stirring, then at 20
second intervals until the mixture is completely smooth (microwave temps
vary, so watch the chocolate and stir frequently until it's of
drizzling consistency).
-
Drizzle
over the snack mixture. Then microwave the vanilla (white) baking chips
in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth, and drizzle that over
the snack mixture. (Note: The vanilla and milk chocolate chips should
not need cream added.) Quickly sprinkle coarse salt over all while candy
drizzles are still wet.
-
Refrigerate until set. Break apart and store in tightly covered container. Perfect for gift giving!
