School Fuel Chex Mix

A good friend of mine introduced me to my favorite chex mix of all time…it’s all caramelly and chocolately…and chocolately…oh, I said that already. Moving forward, it’s plain delish and you know that commercial that says you can’t eat just one? Well, this is the real deal…you can’t eat just one. Not possible. You’ll eat it until the bowl is empty and you’ll look into the bowl and wonder who stole your caramelly chocolately yum and go make some more.

And it’s just that easy too. Cause it’s made in minutes in the microwave. And that’s a good thing cause one batch just isn’t enough.

Did I mention this is great to take to superbowl parties? Well, it is.

Here is what you do:

In a large bowl (that will fit in your microwave) add 6 tbs butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar and 3 tbs light corn syprup. Microwave on high 1-2 minutes until butter is melted.

Stir. Add ¼ tsp baking soda. Stir.

Add 6 cups Crispix Cereal, ½ cup honey roasted peanuts, and ½ cup pretzel sticks to bowl. Gently mix to coat.

Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring to coat after each minute.

Spray Pam on two cookies sheets and divide chex mix between the two cookie sheets.

Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in microwave on medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds until chocolate is melted. (I add 1 tsp Crisco to thin the chocolate out and make it drizzle…able.) Drizzle on chex mixture and chill until chocolate is set. Break into pieces and put in a big bowl and then hide it…cause it won’t last long!

Enjoy!
