Caramel Chex

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to add something to our food blog. This here is one of my favorite quick and easy treats! I LOVE it, it's addictive and we gave some of it away for a Christmas treat. So here's the recipe. Also, Maria said she made a Baked Alaska during the Christmas break and took a picture of it to put on the blog. Maria, where is it? We all want to see your masterpiece!! :)

p.s. I still want Sara's carrot chowder. Sara, I made it the other day and it was soooo good! But for some reason I thought that you said that you added something else. What was it?

Caramel Chex

1 cube butter
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
8 c. Chex
slivered almonds (optional)
1 large brown paper bag

Pour Chex and almonds in a large brown paper bag. Bring butter, brown sugar, corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat then add baking soda. The soda will make this mixture foam a bit. Pour this mixture over the Chex in paper bag. Close up bag and put into microwave for 1 minute on high. Take out bag and shake. Put bag back in microwave for 30 seconds. Take out and shake then pour out onto wax paper to cool.

These measurements might be more helpful because it's based on the cereal box size.

1 1/2 cube butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
a little more than 1/3 c. corn syrup
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 16 oz. box of Chex
