Chocolate Caramel Chex Mix
Today I wanted share a recipe for an amazing Chex Mix! It is a definite "must try" the next time you are in the mood for some chocolatey and caramel goodness. I first came across the recipe over at Chef in Training.
I did make a couple changes to her version of the recipe.
- 8 cups Chocolate Chex cereal {If you can't find them like me, I used 6 cups Rice Chex Cereal and 2 cups Cocoa Krispies}
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 6 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. Light Corn Syrup
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup MINI Reese's Peanut Butter Cups {I used cut up large Reese's}
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup caramel bits
- 1 Tbsp. heavy cream
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips {I used 1 cup}
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. coarse sea salt.
Pour measured cereal into a large microwaveable bowl.
Line cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil.
In 2-cup microwaveable measuring up, microwave brown sugar, butter and corn syrup uncovered on high for 1-2 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 for 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 mini marshmallows over the Chex mixture. I sprinkled some of the Caramel bits through out as well.
In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave caramel baking bits and cream uncovered on high for 1 minute or until chips can be stirred smooth. Use a spoon or fork to drizzle over Chex mixture. Repeat with milk chocolate baking chips and again with the white baking chips. Quickly sprinkly coarse ssalt over all the chex mixture while candy drizzles are still wet. Refridgerate until set.
I packaged some up for a friend.
I am hoping that she enjoys it as much as we do!
