Better Than Sex Chex Mix (Warning: this stuff disappears fast).
This mix took me right back to the Better Than Sex cake my mom used to make. I ran across this recipe from Tablespoon, and let’s just say it lives up to the name. Sweet, salty, chocolatey, and totally addictive—this Chex mix hits all the right spots for a seriously indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 8 cups Chocolate Chex™ cereal
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup Reese’s Minis Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup caramel bits (or chopped regular caramels)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ cup milk chocolate baking chips (add more if you want extra chocolate)
- ½ cup vanilla (white) chocolate baking chips
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Measure the cereal into a large, microwave-safe bowl and set aside. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil.
- In a microwaveable cup, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until melted and smooth. Stir in baking soda until dissolved.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and mix to coat evenly. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread mixture onto the cookie sheet to cool for 10 minutes, then break into pieces.
- Once the Chex mix is cool, sprinkle the Reese’s minis and marshmallows evenly over it.
- Melt the caramel bits with cream in a small bowl, microwaving about 1 minute or until smooth. Drizzle over the mix.
- Melt the milk chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth, and drizzle over the mix. Repeat with the white chocolate chips.
- While the drizzle is still wet, sprinkle coarse salt over everything.
- Refrigerate until set, then break apart and store in an airtight container.
