Description

These Salted Caramel Muddy Buddies are a sweet and salty twist on the classic snack mix. Crunchy cereal is coated in a luscious salted caramel mixture and tossed in powdered sugar for an irresistible treat perfect for parties, gifts, or snacking!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 9 cups (270 g) Rice Chex cereal (or similar)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, warmed
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 2 cups (250 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cereal:

  • Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Make the Salted Caramel Sauce:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.
  • Cook the mixture until it turns a golden amber color, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization (this takes about 5-7 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the warmed heavy cream (it will bubble). Add the butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt, stirring until smooth.

3. Coat the Cereal:

  • Pour the salted caramel sauce over the cereal in the bowl, gently tossing to coat evenly. Work quickly to avoid the caramel hardening.

4. Add the Powdered Sugar:

  • Transfer the coated cereal to a large zip-top bag or a lidded container. Add the powdered sugar, seal, and shake vigorously until all the cereal is well coated.

5. Spread and Cool:

  • Spread the coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Let it cool and harden for about 20 minutes.

6. Serve:

  • Sprinkle with a pinch of extra sea salt for added flavor, if desired. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled mix or toss in mini pretzels for added crunch.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Use gluten-free cereal for a gluten-free version of this snack.
