CARAMEL SNACK ATTACK MIX



Caramel Snack Attack Mix image

I have a house full of picky kids, so I end up with lots of open boxes of cereal. This works with pretty much any cereal you'd want to eat. I've used Kix, Apple Jacks, Rice Krispies, Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, even Life! I like the stick or mini pretzels the best. I'd bet the big sourdough ones, crushed a bit of course, would be really good too. Please please please be very careful with the boiling syrup. Keep an ice bath nearby in case you spill on yourself. Any seasoned candy maker knows how horrible candy burns are.

Tips and Conclusion

Craving a sweet and crunchy snack? Look no further than this Caramel Snack Attack Mix! This delectable treat combines a variety of textures and flavors that are sure to satisfy your cravings. Here are some tips and tricks to make the most of this recipe: .

  • Use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not hold the caramel coating as well and will be less flavorful.
  • Make sure the caramel is cooked to the right temperature. If the caramel is not cooked long enough, it will be too runny and will not coat the popcorn properly. If the caramel is cooked too long, it will be too thick and hard to stir.
  • Be careful when adding the baking soda to the caramel. The baking soda will cause the caramel to foam up, so be sure to add it slowly and stir constantly.
  • Work quickly when coating the popcorn with the caramel. The caramel will start to harden as it cools, so it is important to work quickly to coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Be patient when waiting for the caramel popcorn to cool. It may take several hours for the caramel popcorn to completely cool and harden.
  • Store the caramel popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature. The caramel popcorn will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion

With its irresistible combination of sweet, crunchy, and salty flavors, this Caramel Snack Attack Mix is sure to become a favorite snack for the whole family. So next time you're craving something sweet and satisfying, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
