Candy Coated Crispix Snack Mix Plus A Fun Way To Decorate A Pringle Can For Your Cookie Exchanges Recipes

CANDY COATED CRISPIX MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray. Combine the Crispix cereal and peanuts in a very large bowl and set aside.
• Combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes.
• Add the baking soda and stir well. The mixture will foam up a bit. Immediately pour over the cereal and peanuts, stirring to evenly coat the cereal with the candy mixture. It's okay if not every piece gets coated. This step is to distribute the candy coating as evenly as possible, but you don't want to crush the cereal by stirring too much or too vigorously.
• Dump the coated cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, using a spatula or large wooden spoon to turn the snack mix over every 15 minutes or so. The low heat keeps the candy coating soft and sticky and turning helps most of the cereal eventually get evenly coated, while also drying it out a bit.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 15 to 20 minutes until cool enough to add the M&M's without them melting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to about 1 week.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, empty the cereal and the peanuts. In a saucepan on the stove melt the butter, sugar, syrup and salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add the baking soda, stir, ingredients will foam and become frothy. Pour mixture over the cereal and peanuts. Mix quickly but carefully. You don't want to smash all of the cereal. Spread onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 200 degrees for one hour, turning mix over every 15 minutes. When mix has cooled, add the M&M's. I usually use dark chocolate ones, because those are my favorite. But this time, I used pretzel ones and dark chocolate.
