Create a gourmet caramel corn party mix with cranberries and nuts - perfect for gifting or indulging in.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups popped microwave popcorn
  • 4 cups Corn Chex™ cereal
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, cut up
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips
  • 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Instructions:
  • Remove any unpopped kernels from the freshly popped popcorn. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the popcorn, cereal, and nuts, and set aside for later use.
  • Microwave butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a 2-cup microwavable measuring cup uncovered on High for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Be sure to stir after the first minute and continue microwaving until the mixture is boiling.
  • Drizzle the cereal mixture with the coating, ensuring it's thoroughly covered. Microwave on High for approximately 5 minutes, pausing to stir and scrape the bowl every minute, until the cereal lightly browns. Transfer to waxed paper or foil to cool for around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to separate the pieces.
  • Microwave baking chips in a medium bowl on High for 1-1.5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Add 3 cups of cooled cereal mixture to the melted chips, toss gently until evenly coated. Spread on waxed paper or foil and cool for about 30 minutes until set.
  • Combine both cereal mixtures and cranberries in a serving bowl, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.
