CHEX CARAMEL CORN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chex Caramel Corn Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups Chex cereal (corn, rice or combination)
2 cups Cheerios cereal
6 cups Popped corn*
3 cups Chinese crispy noodles
1 to 2 cups peanuts, cocktail style
1 cup butter (don't use margarine or tub spread products)
6 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 1/8 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup popcorn kernels = about 6 cups popped corn

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250°F. Remove and discard unpopped kernels from popped popcorn. Mix cereals, popcorn, Chinese noodles and peanuts in a large roasting pan; set aside. Heat butter, sugar, corn syrup and to boiling in a 2-Quart saucepan* over medium heat, stirring frequently. *or you can heat in a microwave, if you prefer. Add the vanilla (I prefer to add this once the caramel is hot, to keep the vanilla flavor more intense.) Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Bake 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on waxed or parchment paper to cool, stirring occasionally to break up. Store in an airtight container. Tasting notes: I would think that substituting pecans or even cashews for peanuts would be really good, too!

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 19 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 1/2 cups Corn Chex or 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex
4 cups popped microwave popcorn
1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In large microwavable bowl, mix cereal, popcorn and peanuts. Set aside.
  • In medium microwavable bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla. Microwave uncovered on High about 2 minutes or until mixture is boiling; stirring after 1 minute. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
  • Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 5 minutes, stirring and scraping bowl after every minute.
  • Spread on waxed paper until cooled, stirring occasionally to break up. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients. Use gluten-free Chex cereal, gluten-free caramel corn, and gluten-free marshmallows. You can bake your cereal at 250° F in the oven for 30-60 minutes for a crispier texture.
  • Use a large pot. The mixture will bubble up, so you'll need a pot that's big enough to accommodate it.
  • Stir constantly. This will prevent the mixture from burning.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture. It should be thick and bubbly, but not too thick or hard.
  • Add the marshmallows at the end. This will prevent them from melting too much.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it over the Chex cereal. This will help to prevent the cereal from getting soggy.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over the Chex cereal. This will ensure that every piece is coated.
  • Let the caramel corn cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and harden.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy snack that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a gluten-free dessert, give this recipe a try!
