Cómo preparar Crunchy Caramel Snack Mix
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine the following: 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Chex, Rice Krispies, or a mix), 1 cup pretzels, 1 cup peanuts (or your favorite nut), and 1 cup dried fruit (optional, such as raisins or cranberries).
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) margarine, and ½ cup light corn syrup.
- Cook and stir over medium heat until the margarine melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to boil without stirring for exactly 4 minutes. Be careful, the mixture will bubble vigorously.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda and ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar. The mixture will foam up significantly.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Quickly pour the caramel mixture over the cereal mixture in the baking pan.
- Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through (at the 15-minute mark).
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, break the snack mix into smaller pieces and transfer to a large, shallow pan for even cooling.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
