Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Make sure your corn Chex cereal, butter, sugar, and nuts are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: The caramel should be thick and gooey, but not hard or brittle. Cook it over medium heat and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Add the Chex cereal and nuts while the caramel is still hot: This will help the caramel to coat the cereal and nuts evenly.
  • Spread the caramel corn Chex mix out on a large baking sheet to cool: This will help to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Store the caramel corn Chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature: It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Caramel corn Chex mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn Chex cereal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of caramel corn Chex mix that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet and salty snack, give caramel corn Chex mix a try.
