RECIPE - CARAMEL NUT SNACK MIX

CARAMEL NUT SNACK MIX

Caramel Nut Snack Mix combines nuts, Chex cereal, and M&Ms to make a tasty and crunch snack mix that the whole family will love!


 Prep Time 5 minutes
 Cook Time 50 minutes
 Total Time 55 minutes
 Servings 18 +
 Author Butter With A Side of Bread

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup white corn syrup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups salted mixed nuts {cashews and peanuts were our favorites!}
  • 1 12 ounce package crispy corn or rice cereal, like Chex
  • 1-2 cups festive M&M's- I used the harvest colored ones

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line 2 large jelly-roll pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-size microwave safe bowl, mix butter, white corn syrup and brown sugar. Place the mixture in the microwave and cook 2 minutes, or until butter melts. Stir mixture until combined and smooth.
  3. Place the cereal and nuts onto the prepared pans.
  4. Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal and nuts and mix gently until the cereal and nuts are coated. I used a rubber scraper and just gently held on to the side of the parchment paper while mixing. It was easier to do than I thought it'd be!
  5. Bake for 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Half way through, rotate the pans in the oven as well. (Anything on the bottom rack of my oven cooks faster, so rotating prevents half of your mix from overcooking!)
  6. Remover the pans from the oven and continue to stir the mix so that it doesn't harden in 1 large piece! I held the edges of the parchment paper and slid the mix onto the counter top, so that it'd cool faster. It took only a few minutes, so be sure to stir them immediately after they come out of the oven!
  7. Once the mix is cool, add in the M&M's and toss lightly to incorporate. ENJOY

RECIPE - SALTED CARAMEL RICE KRISPIE SQUARES

CARAMEL RICE KRISPIE TREATS


Caramel Rice Krispie Treats are soft, chewy marshmallow squares topped with smooth, rich caramel for an incredible take on rice krispie treats.  


 Prep Time 15 minutes
 Total Time 15 minutes
 Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 3 TBSP butter
  • 4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
  • 1 package Kraft Caramel Bits
  • 2 TBSP milk
  • about 2 tsp coarse seal salt optional

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9x13 glass pan with non-stick spray. Also spray a rubber scraper.
  2. In a large bowl measure out marshmallows and butter. Microwave for about 1 minute 15 seconds, until marshmallows are puffing up.
  3. Stir the Rice Krispie cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Once well mixed, transfer to the 9x13 pan and gently press in until the treats are as even as possible.
  4. Once they're cooling in the pan, pour the caramel bits into a microwave-safe dish and add the milk. Microwave for about 1 minute 20 seconds. Bits won't necessarily look melted, but once you begin stirring them, they'll run smooth. If they don't, put back in the microwave for another 10 seconds.
  5. Pour caramel over the Rice Krispie Treats and use your rubber scraper to smooth the caramel over the top until even.
  6. Sprinkle on coarse sea salt and let cool completely.
  7. Once cool, I like to take all the treats out and put the entire block on a cutting board. I slice them all at once, then return them back to the pan.
