Chocolate Chex® Caramel Crunch
This recipe is a wonderful blend of sweet chocolate and buttery caramel, all mixed in with the classic crunch of Chex cereal. It’s super easy to make and great for gatherings or just a cozy night in!
Ingredients:
- 8 cups Chocolate Chex cereal
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: nuts or M&M’s for extra crunch and color!
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, pour the 8 cups of Chocolate Chex cereal and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup, bringing it to a boil. Make sure to stir constantly to avoid burning.
- Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. Watch out—it will bubble up quite a bit!
- Pour the hot caramel mixture over the Chex cereal. Toss it gently but quickly until all the cereal is coated with that luscious caramel goodness.
- Spread the coated cereal out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to cool.
- While the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel-coated Chex, adding nuts or M&M’s as desired.
- Let it set completely—this could take about 20-30 minutes. Then, break it into pieces and serve it up.
And there you have it! A scrumptious treat that’s simple to make and oh-so-delicious. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or just when you need a little something sweet. Enjoy, fam!
