Sweet Crispix Mix Recipes

CARAMEL CRISPIX SNACK MIX RECIPE

Steps:

• Place one paper bag inside the other and pour cereal, peanuts, and M&M candies into it.
• Add brown sugar, butter, Karo syrup and salt to a large saucepan. Boil for 1-1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. Be careful because the mixture will foam up and be very hot. Pour into the paper bag over the cereal mixture.
• Roll the top of the bag down and shake to distribute the sugar mixture throughout the cereal mixture. Heat bag in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and reshake. Return to the microwave for a total of 3 times.
• Spread out on rimmed cookie sheets to dry for a couple hours or overnight. Occasionally break up the mix. Store dried mix in an airtight container.

CRISPIX SWEET MINGLERS

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate on HIGH for 1 minute.
• Stir and heat an additional 30 seconds at HIGH or until melted.
• Stir in peanut butter and peanuts.
• Gently stir in cereal, until well coated.
• Place powdered sugar in 2-gallon storage bag.
• Add cereal and close bag.
• Gently toss cereal mixture until well-coated.
• Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
• Note: You can make this on the stove-top.
• Use a double boiler to melt chocolate, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in peanut butter and peanuts.
• Pour mixture over cereal and proceed with recipe.

CANDY COATED CRISPIX MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray. Combine the Crispix cereal and peanuts in a very large bowl and set aside.
• Combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes.
• Add the baking soda and stir well. The mixture will foam up a bit. Immediately pour over the cereal and peanuts, stirring to evenly coat the cereal with the candy mixture. It's okay if not every piece gets coated. This step is to distribute the candy coating as evenly as possible, but you don't want to crush the cereal by stirring too much or too vigorously.
• Dump the coated cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, using a spatula or large wooden spoon to turn the snack mix over every 15 minutes or so. The low heat keeps the candy coating soft and sticky and turning helps most of the cereal eventually get evenly coated, while also drying it out a bit.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 15 to 20 minutes until cool enough to add the M&M's without them melting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to about 1 week.

• Bake 1 hour at 200-250F degrees.
• Stir every 15 minutes.
• You may add nuts if you desire.

• Microwave for 2 minutes, stir.
• Repeat - microwave 2 minutes, stir.
• Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir until light caramel look.
• IN A PAPER BAG ADD: box of Crispix, jar of peanuts and bag of pretzels (hint: I make this dry mix while I'm microwaving the caramel mix above).

SWEET CRISPIX SNACK MIX

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, empty the cereal and the peanuts.
• 2. In a saucepan on the stove melt the butter, sugar, syrup and salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add the baking soda, stir, ingredients will foam and become frothy.
• 3. Pour mixture over the cereal and peanuts. Mix quickly but carefully. You don't want to smash all of the cereal.
• 4. Spread onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• 5. Bake at 200 degrees for one hour, turning mix over every 15 minutes. Note: The original recipe calls for baking 1 hour, I cut it down to 30 minutes the second time because we like it to still have the sweet chewy texture.
• 6. When mix has cooled, add the M&M's.
• 7. Note: Very versatile recipe! You can use dark or milk chocolate M&M's, or even try the Pretzel M&M's. I've also tossed a cup or so of pretzels into this as well.
