Candy Coated Crispix Snack Mix ---- Plus a Fun way to decorate a Pringle Can for your Cookie Exchanges
Candy coated Crispix cereal, peanuts and M&M's make the MOST addicting snack mix EVER!
Ingredients
- 2 c. brown sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup lite corn syrup
- 17 ounces of Crispix Cereal
- 1 pound of M&M's
- 2 cups salted Dry roasted peanuts
- 1/2 t salt
- 1 t baking soda
Instructions
In a large bowl, empty the cereal and the peanuts.
In a saucepan on the stove melt the butter, sugar, syrup and salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add the baking soda, stir, ingredients will foam and become frothy.
Pour mixture over the cereal and peanuts. Mix quickly but carefully. You don't want to smash all of the cereal. Spread onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 200 degrees for one hour, turning mix over every 15 minutes.
When mix has cooled, add the M&M's.
I usually use dark chocolate ones, because those are my favorite. But this time, I used pretzel ones and dark chocolate.

Oh yummy, perfect for leaving out and snacking for parties!
I was wondering if there was a substitute for corn syrup, or a way to avoid using it.
Thanks so much!
I have never used anything for a substitute. I did a little digging and found this article: https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/how-to-substitute-corn-syrup-article It doesn’t sound like many things are good when it comes to caramel/candy making – If you try it, I would love to hear the outcome?
