Chex Mix with chocolate and caramel drizzles, Snickers bits, and peanuts - all the sweet and saltiness you want in a snack!
I'll be honest and say that I think that this is the best Chex mix I've ever had. I love a sweet and salty combo which is probably why I like Snickers so much. This Chex mix is supposed to be chocolate Chex based, but unfortunately we didn't have that so I used plain Chex. For as good as this recipe was with plain Chex, I can only imagine how amazing it is with chocolate Chex. This recipe has a chocolate drizzle, a caramel drizzle, Snickers bits, and peanuts. It's exactly what you'd want in a sweet Chex mix.What you need:
- 8 cups Chocolate or plain Chex cereal
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel bits (or diced caramel squares)
- 1 Tbsp. heavy cream
- 3/4 cup salted peanuts
- 1/2 cup chopped Snickers bars
Directions:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place cereal into a large microwave-safe bowl.
- In a smaller microwave-safe bowl, add brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Mix well.
- Add baking soda and stir well. Pour over cereal and stir to coat.
- Microwave cereal for 3 minutes, stirring after each minute.
- Pour onto baking sheet and let cool for 15 minutes. Then break into bite-size pieces.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cereal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Stir until smooth then drizzle over cereal.
- Sprinkle peanuts and chopped Snickers over cereal while caramel and chocolate are still warm.
- Chill in refrigerator until chocolate and caramel sets some and then break apart into bite-size pieces.
