CARAMEL SNACK ATTACK MIX



Caramel Snack Attack Mix image

I have a house full of picky kids, so I end up with lots of open boxes of cereal. This works with pretty much any cereal you'd want to eat. I've used Kix, Apple Jacks, Rice Krispies, Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, even Life! I like the stick or mini pretzels the best. I'd bet the big sourdough ones, crushed a bit of course, would be really good too. Please please please be very careful with the boiling syrup. Keep an ice bath nearby in case you spill on yourself. Any seasoned candy maker knows how horrible candy burns are.

Caramel-Apple Bars with Cake Mix image

I made these one night out of a need for apples, caramel, and cake!

Provided by ROBY

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup evaporated milk, divided
3 medium apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 (11 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
¼ cup cinnamon chips, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Place cake mix in a bowl and cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender. Stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk, then apples. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan and set remaining batter aside.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • While bottom bar layer is baking, combine caramel candies and 1/2 cup evaporated milk in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until melted. Remove from the heat.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when baked.
  • If you don't have a food dehydrator, you can dry the apples in the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and bake the apples for 2-3 hours, or until they are dry and crispy.
  • To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • If you don't have caramel sauce, you can use melted chocolate or peanut butter instead.
  • Be sure to mix the snack mix well so that all of the ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Caramel apple snack mix is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for parties, picnics, or a quick snack. With its combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy ingredients, this snack mix is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give caramel apple snack mix a try.
