Munch Crunch Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Stir cereal squares, pretzel sticks, peanuts, and milk chocolate pieces together in a large bowl.
• Melt the vanilla baking chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Drizzle melted chips over cereal mixture. Pour mixture out onto a large piece of aluminum foil and cool for 30 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.

Steps:

• Toss first 3 ingredients together in a shallow pan.
• Thoroughly combine remaining ingredients.
• Drizzle over top and toss to coat well.
• Heat at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Cool on paper towels.

Steps:

• Spread popcorn and peanuts on a baking sheet and keep warm in your oven set to 300 degrees while you prepare the butter toffee.
• You don't need to preheat the oven.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
• Add sugar and corn syrup and simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Pop a candy thermometer into the mixture and watch it closely.
• When the thermometer reaches 300 degrees pour the candy over the warm popcorn and peanuts.
• Stir well so that the candy coats the popcorn.
• Put the popcorn back into the oven for 5 minutes, then stir it again to coat the popcorn.
• Repeat if necessary to thoroughly coat all of the popcorn.
• Pour coated popcorn and peanuts onto wax paper.
• When cool, break up the chunks into bite-size pieces and store it all in a covered container.
