Create a decadent caramel corn party mix loaded with nuts and berries.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups popped microwave popcorn
  • 2 cups Corn Chex™ cereal
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut up
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup white vanilla baking chips
  • 1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Instructions:
  • Remove any unpopped kernels from the popped popcorn. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the popcorn, cereal, and nuts; set aside.
  • Microwave butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a microwavable measuring cup uncovered on High for 45 seconds to 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the mixture is boiling.
  • Gently drizzle the mixture over the cereal, making sure to coat it evenly. Microwave on High for approximately 3 minutes, ensuring to stir and scrape the bowl every minute, until the cereal starts to turn golden brown. Transfer to waxed paper or foil to cool for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to break it up as it cools.
  • Microwave the baking chips in a medium bowl on High for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until melted and smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cooled cereal mixture and toss gently until evenly coated. Spread on waxed paper or foil and cool for about 30 minutes until set.
  • Combine both cereals and cranberries in a serving bowl, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.
