Combine the cereal, popcorn, and peanuts.
In a small pan, melt butter. Add the brown sugar, vanilla, and syrup.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly (it won't take very long).
Drizzle butter mixture over cereal mixture. Stir until it's all evenly coated.
(this is where I ate half the bowl and then realized I still had to microwave it.)
Microwave for 5 or 6 minutes, stirring every minute. This step is to heat it all through and make it nice and crunchy and browned. (warning: mixture will be hot!)
Spread on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Allow to cool. Stir it every few minutes to keep it from clumping up.
And now, here's the official recipe. :)
Chex Caramel Corn
4 cups popped popcorn (plain, no butter)
4 cups Chex cereal
1/2 cup peanuts (optional)
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 TBS corn syrup (or maple)
1/4 tsp vanilla
In a large microwaveable bowl, combine popcorn, cereal, and peanuts.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, syrup, and vanilla. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
Microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread on waxed paper to cool, stirring occasionally to break up chunks.
Store in an airtight container.
