Microwave Caramel Chex Mix Recipe

If you’re looking for an easy, yummy, quick and inexpensive caramel chex mix to whip up for a party, or even just to snack on, this is a great option! I made this just recently when we were going to a game night at a friends house on Saturday and then having friends over to watch a basketball game the next day – it was perfect because I had two gallon size bags that were each about 2/3 the way full – I took one bag to our friends house and I kept one bag to have at our home.

And, this freezes really well, too. I had some left over (not much!) that I stuck in the freezer and took out when we had friends stop by unexpectedly.

• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1 stick butter
• 1/4 c. light corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1 box Chex Mix
• 1 small can mixed (whichever kind you prefer) of nuts

Combine sugar, butter, syrup, salt and vanilla. Microwave in microwavable bowl for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir and microwave another 2 minutes. Put in baking soda and stir. Pour cereal and nuts into large bowl and pour caramel mixture over the cereal and nuts. Pour onto cookie sheet and cool. Once the mixture is about dry, pull large chunks apart into manageable pieces and let cool all that way. Enjoy!
