Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn Pops cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Roasted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Pops cereal, mini pretzels, and roasted peanuts. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the caramel mixture over the cereal mix in the large bowl.
Using a spatula, gently toss the mixture until all the pieces are evenly coated with the caramel sauce.
Spread the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The caramel will harden as it cools, creating a crunchy texture.
Once cooled, break the mix into bite-sized pieces and transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
