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
I’ve made this and add nuts, bagels, and pretzels. It is hard to stop eating! So yummy!
Have u used anything besides a paper sack. I don't have one?
So I used some freezer paper in a bowl. It turned out great. I had the paper long enough to cover it and the bowl kept it together. I mixed instead of shook (shaking would be easier) but it worked fine. You might also need to do this in two batches this makes a lot!
Would like to make this but I am not sure how much crispix to use. It calls for 2 small boxes but all I have ever seen is big boxes of crispix.
I just made this and it makes a very large amount, so it's great for holidays. I used 1 box Crispix and half box chocolate oreos, half box pb cereal and fall colored M&m's (I was very surprised the candy coating survived the microwave and all the shaking lol). It tastes delish and looks so great for fall with all the pretty browns and m&m's. Thanks for sharing your recipe!! Maybe next time I will throw in some pretzel sticks or pb filled pretzels for a little salty.
Ashley,
This is a great holiday recipe. I love that it makes plenty to share with friends and relatives!
Have a great day!
Wow this stuff should come with a warning label! So delicious! Perfect mix of salty, sweet, and crunchy. We made this for our movie night snack and it was perfect. I am going to pack it in cute containers for my daughter's teachers as an end of year gift with a gift certificate. Found on pinterest.
I'm so pinning this. Looks yummy:)
What kind of paper sack? A large grocery paper sack or lunch sacks?
A grocery paper sack! It makes a lot! 🙂
