EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Butter or margarine flavors this treat wonderfully and makes the best caramel coating. Do not use vegetable oil spreads.

Pick up a bag of popped popcorn to use in place of the microwave popcorn.

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

I just finished making several batches of this for gifts. It is delicious. I did double the caramel mixture for each batch and also used cashews instead of peanuts because that is what I had on hand. When it came out of the oven I lightly sprinkled it with sea salt. It was just enough to balance the sweet from the caramel. It is now our new favorite Chex mix.

I made this yummy snack for my family tonight, and while it was very tasty, I think I will make a couple modifications next time to increase the WOW-factor. I did swap out the peanuts for almonds because we have peanut allergies in the house. And I doubled the butter, sugar, corn syrup mixture to give it a little more gooey feel. And the thing I think I'll try next time will be to use the Cinnamon Chex in place of the corn...should go really well with the brown sugar flavor!
