Caramel Chex Mix
Hi, everyone! I hope that you are having a fabulous weekend! I am excited to be starting a 20 days of Christmas Cookies series with you! Everyday (except Sunday) until Christmas I will have a new Christmas cookie or treat recipe.
Some of these will be recipes that I use every year or new recipes that I have decided to try. I also have several Guest Posts from other bloggers and friends who will be sharing their favorites ( I do still have a few days left if you would like to join in and share, just email me!)
Since Today is December 1, lets get the cookie and treat baking started! I usually start my baking early, most cookies freeze nicely so that I can bake a little at a time through out the month.
Caramel Chex Mix Recipes
You can use either Crispix or Chex mix to make these delicious Chex mix recipes. Both cereals work well, I happened to have Crispix on hand the day that I made this.
This is recipe is one of my very favorites. But seriously, it is very addictive. I cannot but it down once I start eating it. How can anything that has four sticks of butter be bad? Yikes! Yes, four sticks of butter! This is why I only make it at the holiday season and not on a regular basis. Do you make any other Chex mix recipes?

Caramel Chex Mix: Version 2
The best ever! Love it!
This is the best recipe for this caramel crispix. I only make 1/2 a recipe at a time and it goes fast. Follow the recipe. Paper bag and all. Ive used 2 small bags before and it works as well as 1 large bag.
made this fantastic recipe about 5-6 times now. cant go wrong with this. makes alot, but believe me none goes to waste. this is now a great standard for christmas. thanks soooooo much.
I have made this many times and it is always a big hit. My last 2 batches came out grainy--like the sugar didn't break down. I don't know what I did wrong. Please advise!!
