There are so many puppy chow or chex mix recipes out there but when I came across this one I knew I had to make it as I love anything that has to do with salted caramel! This also makes a large batch great for any get together although I think it is best eaten the same day it is made. But hey it is a no cook recipe that takes about ten minutes! When Mr. MCYM first saw it he turned his nose up at it a little bit but then tried some and tried some more and a little more….yup, he liked it! Robby and a friend he had over also enjoyed some before they went out for the afternoon! I will certainly be making this again!
INGREDIENTS
9 cups of corn or rice chex cereal
1 jar Smucker’s salted caramel ice cream topping
1 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS
Place the chex mix in a large bowl. In a microwave safe bowl add the caramel and chocolate chips and microwave on high for one minute and stir. Continue to microwave for another thirty seconds and mix again. You want the mixture to be melted and smooth. If the mixture is a little thick add a very small pat of butter (less than a tablespoon) to thin it out slightly. Once the mixture is smooth and creamy put this over the chex cereal and mix well coating all of the cereal. Add the powdered sugar and mix well again coating all of the cereal with the sugar. Pour the mixture out onto a baking sheet and let the chocolate firm up. Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy.
