This recipe has been a real hit with family and friends of Melody Michaelis in Sycamore, Illinois. "It's simple, deliciously crunchy and makes up a party-sized portion! Crispix, Apple Jacks and caramel coating give it a unique flavor that's great for all ages.”

Caramel Apple Snack Mix Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Yield: 26 Servings

30 45 75

Ingredients

7 cups popped popcorn
4 cups Crispix
4 cups Apple Jacks cereal
2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

In a large greased roasting pan, combine the popcorn, cereals and peanuts; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; bring to a rolling boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, until mixture turns a medium amber color, about 8 minutes.
Remove from the heat; quickly stir in vanilla and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy. Immediately pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
Bake at 250° for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread mixture onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cool completely. Store in airtight containers. Yield: 5 quarts.

I am not very impressed with this snack mix. There is no caramel apple flavor to this at all. Maybe if you eat an Apple Jack alone without the other part of the mix, then you might get that flavor, but not worth making again.

I had a lot of leftover popcorn, this was great! Thought it was going to be difficult, but now that I made it, it was easy and turned out very well. I don't have a large roasting pan, I cut the recipe in half and used the largest roasting pan I have, slightly larger than a 9x13. Will make this again!
