For more information, read my disclosure policy. Caramel Chex Mix is a twist on the classic party snack with peanuts and M&Ms tossed with caramel-coated cereal. This caramel snack mix is so good that you might want to make a double batch!
My keto friendly version of Chex Mix is great for parties, just like the original. It’s also a fantastic low carb snack because it’s super easy to take along to work, on a road trip, or wherever you’re headed.
Melt the butter in a small pan and let it cook until golden brown. This will give the caramel deeper flavor. Pour in heavy cream and stir until combined. Lower the heat and simmer for a minute. Add in sweetener of choice, we used erythritol. Let that dissolve for a minute. Add a pinch of salt as well.
Then divide the Chex caramel mix between the two baking sheets. Sprinkle the M&Ms over the top and let the Chex mix with caramel cool to room temperature. Once it’s cool, break it into small chunks, and it’s ready to store or serve! If you’re like me, you’re already thinking about all the other things you can add to this easy snack mix!
