I love this recipe. It is simple and always a crowd pleaser! Make sure to pick up a brown grocery bag in the checkout line when making this! I most often use rice chex, but I am sure over chex flavors would work well too. I made this for my wedding to give out in bags as favors...It was a hit!

Provided by ChrisPergament

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 cups Corn or Rice Chex, or similar cereal
1/2 cup nuts
1/2 cup pretzel rods
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250. Pour the cereal, nuts and pretzels into a 9x13 pan. Place the butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar melts, and continue to cook, stirring, until the butter is melted and the candy begins to boil. Stir in the condensed milk, and insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the candy reaches 238 degrees. Remove it from the heat, and stir in vanilla. Pour the caramel over the cereal mixture, stirring it so that the pieces are evenly coated. Return the candy to the oven, and bake it for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. It is done when the caramel mixture darkens and bubbles all over the pan. Remove the candy from the oven and scrape it onto a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Allow it cool completely at room temperature before breaking it into pieces by hand. Store Caramel Chex mix in an airtight container or bag in a cool, dry place.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have any caramel sauce, you can make your own by melting 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the sugar has melted, stir in 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • If you don't have any Chex cereal, you can use another type of cereal, such as Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes.
  • Be careful not to overcook the Chex cereal, or it will become hard and crunchy. The goal is to heat it enough to make it crispy and coated in caramel, but not so much that it loses its shape.
  • Once the Chex cereal is coated in caramel, be sure to spread it out on a baking sheet so that it can cool and harden.

Conclusion:

Caramel Rice Chex Mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover Chex cereal and caramel sauce, and it is also a fun and festive treat to make with kids. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious batch of Caramel Rice Chex Mix that will be enjoyed by everyone.
