Want your roommates or floormates to love you this Halloween? Look no further – this sweet and salty Chex mix is very easy to make as well as dorm-friendly (no stove or oven necessary!). But, beware, this sticky treat can make a mess and will have you obsessed!
Ingredients (Serves about eight people):
½ box of plain rice Chex cereal
½ bag of Pretzel Crisps
½ bag of candy corn
(Optional) One cup of caramel
If you’re using caramel in your version, begin with this step. If not, skip to step two.
- Open your caramel and dish one cup or less of it into a microwaveable container. Heat the bowl of caramel for 30 seconds in a microwave. Carefully take the bowl out of the microwave and set aside.
- Next, open your rice Chex cereal and pour half of the box into a large bowl. If you are using caramel in your dish, pour the caramel over the cereal and mix thoroughly with a spoon or your clean hands. Let the caramel/cereal mixture sit in the fridge for 10-15 mins until slightly hardened. If no caramel is being used, just leave the cereal as is.
- Then, you will pour in half a bag of Pretzel Crisps. If you would like the Pretzel Crisps to be smaller, break them up into pieces with your hands before putting them into the mix.
- You will then pour in half a bag of candy corn.
- Finally, you will mix all the ingredients thoroughly so that every ingredient is evenly distributed.
Share it with your friends, or eat it all by yourself (we won’t tell anyone). Have a delicious Halloween!
