Ingredients
- 8 cups Chocolate Chex cereal
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 6 T salted butter
- 3 T light corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups coarsely chopped
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped caramels
- 1 T heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Measure Chocolate Chex cereal into large microwavable bowl; set aside. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Microwave brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup uncovered in a 2-cup microwavable measuring cup on high 1 to 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted and smooth. Stir in baking soda until dissolved.
- Pour caramel mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Microwave on high 3 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread on cookie sheet. Cool 10 minutes. Break into bite-sized pieces.
- Make sure Chex mix is cool to the touch. Evenly sprinkle mini peanut butter cups and marshmallows over mixture.
- Microwave caramel baking bits and cream uncovered in a small microwavable bowl on high about 1 minute or until chips can be stirred smooth. Use a spoon or fork to drizzle over snack.
- Microwave milk chocolate chips next, starting with 20 seconds and stirring, then at 20 second intervals until mixture is completely smooth (microwave temps vary, so watch the chocolate and stir frequently until it’s of drizzling consistency). Drizzle over snack mix.
- Microwave the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth, and drizzle that over the snack mixture. (Note: The vanilla and milk chocolate chips should not need added cream.)
- Quickly sprinkle coarse sea salt over mix while candy drizzles are still wet. Refrigerate until set. Break apart and store in tightly covered container.
