No-bake Chex mix with marshmallows, popcorn, caramel, peanuts, and sea salt for a quick and tasty treat.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 5 cups Rice Chex™ cereal
  • 4 cups plain popcorn
  • 1 cup unsalted peanuts
  • Additional coarse sea salt for garnish
Instructions:
  • In a 1- to 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and forms a syrup, stirring often. Bring to a boil and cook until the syrup turns a dark golden brown color (resembling warm whiskey). Remove from heat.
  • Add the butter and swiftly stir it in. Mix in the cream, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until a smooth mixture forms, heating over medium heat if needed. Transfer the caramel to a medium bowl and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • Prepare the Cereal Layers by coating an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
  • In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter with marshmallows over medium heat until smooth. Add cereal, popcorn, peanuts, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mix until everything is coated evenly.
  • Press half of the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the pan. Spread the cooled caramel evenly on top of the cereal layer. Add the remaining cereal mixture on top, pressing gently. Finish by sprinkling some coarse sea salt on top. Allow to cool for 1 hour before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
