HOLIDAY CHEX MIX IDEAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Line large rimmed cookie sheet with waxed paper. In large bowl, mix cereal, marshmallows and pretzels.
• In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring after 1 minute, until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Pour onto cereal mixture; mix well.
• Spread on cookie sheet; sprinkle with holiday sprinkles, and cool completely, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
• In 2-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag, add coated cereal pieces and powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake to coat. Remove from bag; discard any remaining powdered sugar.
• In large serving bowl, mix coated cereal mixture and chocolate candies.

Steps:

• Mix cereal, almonds, pretzels, and coconut in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine butter, sugar, and Karo.
• Over medium heat melt the butter and blend ingredients together.
• Stir while heating, and once it comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes. Set a timer because if it cooks too long it will be too hard. If it doesn't cook long enough it will be too soft.
• Once it has cooked at a full boil for 2 minutes take the mixture off the heat.
• Sprinkle in the topped candy canes ( make sure you add them slowly so they don't turn into a large ball).
• As you sprinkle in the candy cane, whisk to prevent large lumps.
• Pour over the top of the cereal mixture in bowl and stir until all cereal is well coated.
• Then pour onto a greased cookie sheet and top with sprinkles if you want.
• Let cool, store in a zip lock bag and enjoy!
