Better than Sex Chex mix

This year for Christmas I made a couple of amazing desserts. However one in particular really stood out to my family. Everyone keeps asking me the recipe so I thought I would blog it for you guys. It`s so easy and you do not have to bake. You just need a measuring cup, some bowls and the microwave. Oh and of course your ingredients (the best part).

What you will need:
8 cups of Chocolate Chex cereal
1 of a cup packed Brown sugar
2 sticks of butter
1 cup of mini Reese’s Peanut butter cups
1 cup of mini marshmallows
½ cup of caramel bits (this item is found by the chocolate chips on the baking aisle)
½ cup of milk chocolate chips
½ cup of white chocolate chips
1 tsp. of salt

Directions:

Step 1:
Take 8 cups of chocolate Chex mix and put it in a bowl

Step2:
Take 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar and put them in a pot on the stove to boil. Stir when the sugar and butter start to melt. Make sure you watch this close because it will burn so easy. This will make homemade caramel. Let it boil for a couple of minutes and when the texture has changed to big thick bubbles that’s when you know its done.

Step 3:
Pour caramel mixture in the bowl of Chex until the Chex are well covered. I only used about half of the caramel mix.

Step 4:
Put bowl of Chex into the microwave for 3 minutes. While the microwave is going line your baking sheet with parchment paper or Reynolds wrap. When the microwave goes off take the bowl out and mix the Chex and Carmel really good. When done pour over the backing sheet.

Step 5:
Let the Chex cool for about 10 minutes then sprinkle the mini marshmallow’s and mini Reese’s over the Chex.

Step 6:
In a cup or small bowl heat up the milk chocolate chips in 30 minute increments. Stir after every 30 seconds. You may have to add a dash of water to the chocolate so it does not dry out and burn. When the chocolate has melted and it is smooth in texture. Take a fork, dip and scoop it in the chocolate and shake it over the mixture until you have used all chocolate.

Step 7:
Repeat step 6 with the white chocolate

Step 8:
Repeat step 6 with caramel

Step 9:
Put Chex mix into the freezer for about an hour. After the hour take out of freezer and enjoy!
