Indulge in a lighter crunch and a distinctive taste you just can’t get from plain old peanut brittle.

Expert Tips

All the ingredients are mixed in one bowl, so you can easily enlist the aid of any children in the house when making this recipe.

Two cookie sheets with sides can be used. No sides on your cookie sheets? Line them with foil, crimping the edges so the mixture won't slide off when going in and out of the oven. Using nonstick foil eliminates the need for cooking spray.

Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.

Based on some reviews, the Betty Crocker Kitchens did a little extra testing for this recipe and guess what? They found that lowering the oven temp to 300 degrees and baking a little longer than the original recipes, the Chex were a little crispier and crunchier. The recipe you now see reflects the changes made. Happy munching.

This recipe is very tasty nice snack but very messy to make. I saw the sweet condensed milk bubble up in the pan and was almost spilling out of the pan on the sides. You have to keep watching the oven at all times to see what it's doing. I used a cookie sheet and parchment paper. It came out chewy. I used pecans it gives it a better taste and I sprinkled sugar cinnamon on top. I baked it for 17 minutes at 325 degrees. I let it cool on freezer paper for about 30 minutes. Dishes were very messy to wash had to rinse in water first then wash off. Parchment paper on pan a must !!! maybe line the bottom oven with foil paper for spills.
