Last-Minute, Super-Easy, Amazingly-Delicious Thanksgiving Dessert

Before

Subaru friends, I'm sorry about the late notice, but I just made this last night and it's amazing. It's extremely easy and requires zero oven time, and almost zero waiting! The recipe I got it from has a bit too much of a swanky name for this blog, but it's more or less a dessert chex mix that literally melts in your mouth. Here it is, and Happy Thanksgiving! (If you don't have time to make this for Thanksgiving, definitely give it a go after. It's also gluten free!)

Ingredients

8 cups Corn Chex cereal
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons salted butter, plus another half stick
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
Sea salt
(Keep in mind you can really use any combination of chocolates and toppings!)

Directions:

Half-way there

• Put tinfoil over a large baking sheet, set aside.
• Put Chex mix into a large microwavable bowl, set aside.
• In a smaller microwavable bowl, put brown sugar, corn syrup and 6 tablespoons of butter. Microwave for two minutes, stirring after the first minute to combine. Remove and add baking soda, stirring until dissolved. Pour over Chex.
• Mix chex and caramel mixture until combined, then place in the microwave for three minutes, stirring every minute to cover all of the pieces.
• Once finished, dump Chex mixture onto the baking sheet, distributing evenly. Let completely cool (I put mine in the fridge for about ten minutes to speed up the process!)
• While it's cooling, use a small saucepan and put a third of the remaining butter in with the milk chocolate chips. Melt on low stirring constantly so as not to burn the chocolate. (Better cooks than me would use a double broiler but this worked just fine!) Set aside.
• Repeat this step with the white chocolate and then the peanut butter chips. If any of your chocolate mixtures are too thick, just add a little bit of milk or cream and stir.
• After the Chex has cooled and you're done creating your chocolate sauces, break the Chex mixture into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle each chocolate mix over the pieces evenly. Coat the top of the mixture in sea salt - the amount of savory you like in your sweets is up to your discretion :)

Wait for it to cool, then enjoy!
