Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!
My gift to you is the recipe for my most requested treat, Caramel Chex! I only make it one time a year for a very specific reason:
It’s ridiculously addicting.
Consider yourself warned.
Step 1: Heat sugars and butter over medium heat. On a prepared baking sheet spread out cereal, nuts and coconut.
Step 2: Coat cereal mixture with caramel mix. Try not to drool.
Step 3: Stir well, place in oven for 24 minutes, stirring every eight minutes to assure every cereal bit gets equally coated.
Step 4: After the 24 minute baking time spread mixture out on greased parchment paper making sure to create an even layer.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, stir and break up with your fingers, continue cooling until caramel has set.
Step 5: Try to keep your significant other out of it
Step 6: Store as desired. I place mine in Gallon zip lock bags and add M&M’s. As the Chex settles it will stick together, creating clumps, so keeping it stored in baggies allows you to massage the chex mix to break it up.

I hope you enjoy family, friends, food and drinks over the next few days.
Cheers!

How long to cook caramel?

Until sugar is dissolved and liquid is pourable. It will continue to cook and perform its magic in the oven. Enjoy!!

I followed recipe exactly. Halfway way through the baking the caramel started to burn. I had to throw out entire batch. 350 is too hot to bake this recipe

Oh no! I hope you stirred several times through the process. Sorry to hear me your first go didn’t work so well.

Bummer. Have made It for years and never had that issue. Guess your oven has super powers and you’ll need to turn the temp down next time. Hope it goes well! Have a merry Christmas!

I couldn’t find it this year either. I hope it wasn’t discontinued. I subbed half rice and half corn Chex in its place. Same same but different, ya know? 🙂
