I love all things caramel. And this snack definitely satisfies. Caramel Crispix even gets bonus points in the summer because you don’t have to heat up the oven and the house making it. Did I say the main ingredient is cereal so you can eat it for breakfast? Ding, ding, ding, extra bonus points! Make a batch today.
Caramel Crispix
- 9 – cups Crispix cereal
- 1 – cup brown sugar
- ½ – cup margarine
- ½ – teaspoon salt
- ¼ – cup light corn syrup
- ½ – teaspoon baking soda
Spray the inside of a large, heavy–duty, brown paper grocery bag with cooking spray. Pour the cereal into the bag. Line a large cookie sheet with 2 layers of wax paper. Spray the top layer of wax paper with cooking spray.
Put the margarine, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a 4–cup glass measuring pitcher and microwave the syrup on high for 3 minutes. Stir the syrup and microwave it again for 1 minute. Remove the syrup from the microwave and stir in the salt and soda. Keep stirring as the syrup foams up and turns light golden brown. Pour the syrup over the cereal and stir it a little without getting burned.
Loosely, roll the top of the bag closed and microwave the bag of cereal on high for 1 minute. Put an oven mitt on each hand to remove the bag from the microwave and shake the bag upside down and sideways. Shake the bag of cereal gently so the bag won’t tear. Microwave the bag for another minute. Shake the bag again and dump the cereal onto the cookie sheet to cool. Even though one batch seems like a single serving, try not to eat all of the cereal before breaking it up in a bowl to share. Store any leftovers in a Ziploc bag.
