Easy Caramel Chex Mix – A Holiday Favorite
Ingredients
- 4 cups rice Chex mix (I use the Aldi brand)
- 3.7 ounce bag bugles
- 1 cup mini pretzel twists (I use the Aldi brand)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Toss Chex, bugles and pretzels together in a large bowl.
- Add butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted, the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.
- Pour mixture over Chex mix and toss to coat.
- Pour mixture onto a large jelly roll size baking sheet lined with silicone liner, parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil. You can use 2 baking sheets if needed. Just make sure mixture is a single layer.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking roughly every 5 minutes. Mixture will be bubbly.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Once cool, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
I usually bake mine for no more than 10 minutes.
