Triple Threat Chex Mix

This over the top chex mix is incredibly delicious and addicting.  I will not disclose the amount that didn't actually make it in the bucket.  Because I'm a little embarrassed about it.  Let's just say that I spent most of today at the gym.  Caramel coated chocolate chex mixed with peanut butter M&Ms, peanut butter cups, and marshmallow bits...drizzled with caramel, white chocolate, and milk chocolate.  Need I say more?  Just be careful or you too will be spending more quality time at the gym.

Triple Threat Chex Mix

1 Box (14.25 ounces) Chocolate Chex cereal (about 8 or 9 cups)

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

6 Tablespoons butter

3 Tablespoons light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup mini peanut butter cups (or chopped peanut butter cups)

1/2 cup peanut butter M&Ms

1/2 cup marshmallow bits

1/2 cup caramel bits, or chopped caramels

1 Tablespoon cream

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Place a large piece of wax paper on the counter.  Place the cereal into a large microwaveable bowl.  Set aside.  

In a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup, place the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.  Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute.  Add the baking soda and stir well until completely mixed in.  Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and toss together until the cereal is evenly coated.  Place the cereal in the microwave and microwave for 3 minutes, stirring after each minute.  

Pour the cereal mixture onto the prepared wax paper and spread evenly.  Let cool, then break into small pieces.  Sprinkle the peanut butter cups, M&Ms, and marshmallow bits evenly over the cereal mixture.  In a small bowl, combine the caramel bits and cream and microwave in 30 second intervals until the caramel is melted and smooth.  Drizzle the caramel over the cereal and candy mixture.  Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the cereal mixture.  Melt the white chocolate chips (being careful not to seize the chocolate) and drizzle over the cereal mixture.

Let the Chex mix cool and harden.  Break the mixture apart into small pieces and transfer to a covered container.  Store in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!  -Cardaommy
