Sweet Salty Caramel Snack Mix Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350'.
• 2. Spray rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Mix cereals, nuts, and broken pretzels together on sheet. Set aside.
• 3. Place butter and brown sugar in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan. Heat on medium high until mixture begins boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and continue boiling for 3 minutes, while continuing to stir.
• 4. Carefully pour hot caramel mixture onto cereal mix, trying to coat each piece. Stir by turning over with a spatula.
• 5. Bake mixture for 8 minutes. Remove and stir.
• 6. Return to oven, bake an additional 5 minutes, and remove from oven. Stir mixture one last time and allow to cool completely.
• 7. Break up any large pieces and store in a covered, plastic container.

Steps:

• Place cereal, pecans, almonds, cashews, coconut, and raisins in a large brown paper bag or large microwave-safe bowl and stir or shake to mix.
• Melt 1 stick plus 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour over the cereal mixture and stir to coat.
• Microwave on high in three 90-second intervals, stirring between intervals, 4 1/2 minutes total. Spread out to cool before breaking apart.
