Caramel Cereal Mix Microwave Snack Mix - cereal

Method

• This recipe requires 2 clean, new, grocery sacks to cook the snack mix in the microwave.
• Double line a clean, new, grocery sack.
• Put Crispix cereal into grocery sack.
• Its best not to dump the box of cereal into the sack to avoid getting all the crumbs and small, broken bits in the snack mix.
• Heat corn syrup, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium saucepan until liquid comes to a boil.
• When mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat.
• Add vanilla and baking soda, stir to combine.
• Pour hot liquid over cereal.
• Fold down bag at the top to close it near the level of the cereal, and gently turn/flip/shake bag around to thoroughly mix and coat all cereal pieces.
• Place grocery sack in the microwave (high power) for 1 1/2 minutes.
• Its probably not going to turn in the microwave because its so large.
• Dont worry, it will be fine!
• Without opening the bag, turn/flip/gently shake bag to stir.
• Microwave for 1 minute.
• Shake bag.
• Microwave for 30 seconds.
• Shake bag.
• Place caramel cereal on wax paper to cool and discard grocery sacks.
• Add your favorite candies or pretzels to the Caramel Cereal Mix and store in zip top bags or an airtight container.
• Note: Crispix-like cereal seems to hold up best in this recipe.
• If you choose to substitute a Chex or similar type cereal, I suggest Corn Chex rather than Rice Chex for a hardier cereal.
