How to Make Chocolate Chex Caramel Corn Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Chex cereal, 3 cups popped popcorn (about 6 cups unpopped), and 2 cups pretzels.
  3. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until boiling, stirring after 1 minute.
  4. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring gently until evenly coated.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pressed bars.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to set completely before cutting into squares.
