Best Sweet Crispix Snack Mix Recipes

CHRISTMAS CRISPIX® MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly butter a large roasting pan.
• Mix corn and rice cereal, pecans, and almonds together in the prepared roasting pan.
• Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove saucepan from heat and stir vanilla extract into syrup.
• Drizzle syrup over cereal mixture and toss to coat.
• Bake cereal mixture in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; stir and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Spread cereal mixture in 1 layer onto 2 lightly buttered baking sheets, separating any large chunks with 2 forks; allow to cool.

CARAMEL CRISPIX® MIX

Steps:

• Bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil.

• Remove from heat and add baking soda (it will foam).
• Put the cereal in a large bowl and pour the boiled mixture over the cereal and stir to coat.
• Bake 1 hour at 200-250F degrees.

SWEET CRISPIX SNACK MIX

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, empty the cereal and the peanuts.
• 2. 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.
• 3. Pour mixture over the cereal and peanuts. Mix quickly but carefully. You don't want to smash all of the cereal.
• 4. Spread onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• 5. Bake at 200 degrees for one hour, turning mix over every 15 minutes. Note: The original recipe calls for baking 1 hour, I cut it down to 30 minutes the second time because we like it to still have the sweet chewy texture.
• 6. When mix has cooled, add the M&M's.
• 7. Note: Very versatile recipe! You can use dark or milk chocolate M&M's, or even try the Pretzel M&M's. I've also tossed a cup or so of pretzels into this as well.
