This recipe was absolutely DELICIOUS! I made it for a group of Bunco women, and they couldn't stop eating it. I would highly recommend this recipe. I can't wait to make it again!

This was pretty good. I felt like it needed another flavor in there though. Maybe cinnamon would be good? I might try it next time with cinnamon Life mixed in or something like that. I used a can of salted mixed nuts and it worked out well. You definitely have to stir it like crazy when it is cooling or it will harden into a big brittle blob. I put mine in a tupperware container straight out of the oven and shook it every few minutes until it was cool. Nothing stuck together! It's definitely not a peanut brittle, but a snack mix.

I think it is IMOPORTANT to note that this is like a PEANUT BRITTLE! I had no idea that "crunchy" meant this hard. I made a double batch to send to my son @ camp - then to my dismay, it's brittle! He has braces, can't eat it... It was good if you like brittle (which I do not). So 3 stars?

Loved this!! Tired of paying close to 5 dollars a bag for a sweet crunchy snack? This is perfect and so simple. Makes quite a bit too! Thanks for sharing it.

Great stuff!! I made this for a New Year's Eve snack, and had to slap hands to let it cool properly. Like some others, I added pretzels and used a can of mixed nuts (what I had on hand). I already bought more to make another batch.

I made this for a bridge group gathering, and all the women loved it. They keep asking me to bring it again. I don't care for pecans, so I used almonds and peanuts, but really- any nut would do. Delicious and easy!

I really liked the flavor but it seemed to have a lot more chex pieces than nuts (the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) so I will definitely add more nuts the next time I make it. I think it would be great with other types of nuts and also with pretzels, as others have suggested.

Love this snack mix and make it every year about this time. Package it and give most of it away, but always keep some for myself too! I use organic multi-grain cereal, increase the quantity of both pecans and almonds (and chop the almonds)to about 3 cups total. When I take it out of the oven I dump it onto parchment paper and spread it out and let it cool for about 3 hours. No problems with stickiness or a big lump of mix and I don't have to keep stirring either!

This is very good. I don't see how some can say that it is too sweet. I did add extras though, maybe that's why it doesn't seem too sweet. I made 1 and 1/2 batches of the caramel mixture and added 1tbsp vanilla extract to it. I used 1c almonds, 1c cashews, 1/2c chopped pecans, about 12oz corn Chex, and 8oz of tiny twist pretzels. It tastes perfect, not to sweet or not sweet enough. I bought the biggest disposable roasting pan I could find. I think this is a must. It makes it pretty easy to stir every 15 minutes while it's in the oven.

I found this recipe very easy to make. I added pretzels and cashews to make it less sweet. I probably won't make it again.

I love this caramel chex mix recipe. I don't always put the nuts and I usually add small pretzels. It is addicting.

Great recipe! I made this exactly as stated in the recipe, using Chex Multigrain cereal, almonds and pecans. I left the nuts whole, and toasted them in the oven first. I saw several 'bad' reviews, and I believe most of them complained about stickiness of the finished product. These same reviewers stated that they 'had' to increase the cook time for the coating in the microwave to get it to the hard crack stage. That's their mistake right there! Like the recipe says, you just put it in the microwave until the butter melts! Stir it and pour it over your cereal mixture. I couldn't find my roaster so I used 2-9x13 cake pans, then dumped it on sheets of quick release foil and spread it out. It took almost no time to cool and didn't have to be stirred. Next time I'm going to try adding some cinnamon and vanilla as others suggested. Great recipe, Trish!

I really enjoyed this. One thing I did notice was that the cereal started to get very dark and some pieces started to burn. My oven doesn't usually run hot, so I kept a close eye on the pan. I stirred every 10 minutes once I noticed the cereal getting so dark. And then I ended up taking the pan out 20 minutes early. I kept stirring every 10 minutes once it was cooling. It was nice and crunchy and sweet. I just picked out the burnt pieces. I would definitely make it again.
