Cranberry-Caramel Chex Mix

(Frugal Christmas gift)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Chex
  • 3 cups Corn Chex
  • 1 1/2 cup honey roasted nuts
  • 1 1/2 cups twisted pretzels
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/4 cup light Karo syrup
  • 1/4 t. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups craisins

Directions

  1. Gently mix cereals, nuts and pretzels in a large bowl. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup add brown sugar, butter and Karo syrup. Microwave for 2 minutes until melted, stirring well after 1 minute. Add baking soda to the caramel sauce and mix well. Pour sauce over cereal mixture and mix gently until cereal is completely coated.
  2. Pour coated cereal mixture onto a jelly roll pan and bake at 250 degrees for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Be SURE to stir so that the chex mix won’t get stuck together.
  3. Cool completely and add craisins and M&Ms.
  4. Makes about 14 cups of Cranberry-Caramel Chex Mix.
