Categories     Other Snacks

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 (17.9-ounce) box crunchy corn and rice cereal 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup land o lakes® butter 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 250°F. Spray roasting pan with no-stick cooking spray. Place cereal in prepared pan. Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil (8 to 9 minutes). Continue cooking, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add baking soda; mix well. Pour syrup mixture over cereal; toss gently until well coated. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, or until coating is set. Spread mixture onto waxed paper. Cool 10 minutes. Break apart. Store in container with tight-fitting lid.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the snack mix dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the snack mix tough.
  • Bake the snack mix at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaking will make the snack mix soft and chewy, while overbaking will make it hard and dry.
  • Let the snack mix cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These are just a few tips for making delicious and crispy snack mix. With a little practice, you'll be able to create your own unique snack mixes that your family and friends will love. So get creative and have fun!
