Better Than Puuro Chex Mix

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I made this snack mix for a New Year's party this evening.  Just like I needed to  rename this cake recipe (Better Than Puuro Cake) to make it more "kid friendly", I needed to change the name of this.  I decided to keep with tradition and fall back on good old Puuro.  This is amazing!  Melts in your mouth!  Very, very sweet and rich!  A little tip:  after you have melted your caramel/chips/almond bark, pour the melted mixture into a zip-loc bag, snip a corner, close bag and squeeze for the drizzle, might be hot, put on gloves :), to better get the melted mixture into the bag, put the bag into a glass jar, fold top over sides, this will hold the bag open, leaving you with two hands for pouring and scraping sides of bowl.

Better Than Puuro Chex Mix

8  c. Chocolate Chex® cereal
3/4  c. packed brown sugar
6  T. butter or margarine
3  T. light corn syrup
1/4  tsp. baking soda
1  c. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, MINI size
1 c. miniature marshmallows
3/4  c. caramel bits (found by the chocolate chips in the baking aisle -- or chop up regular caramels)  
1-1/2 T. heavy cream (I used half/half, I had some on hand)
3/4  c. milk chocolate baking chips
2 T. peanut butter
1/2  c. white almond bark
1 tsp. coarse sea salt (I used regular table salt)

Into large microwavable bowl (I used Tupperware Thats-A-Bowl), measure cereal; set aside. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil.  In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, butter and corn syrup uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted and smooth. Stir in baking soda until dissolved. Pour caramel mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Microwave Chex mixture on High 3 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread on cookie sheet. Cool 10 minutes.  Make sure Chex mixture is cool to the touch (so candy doesn't melt.) Evenly sprinkle mini peanut butter cups candy and miniature marshmallows over Chex mixture.  In small microwavable bowl, microwave caramel baking bits and cream uncovered on High about 1 minute or until chips can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over snack. Microwave the milk chocolate baking chips and peanut butter next, starting with 20-seconds and stirring, then at 20 second intervals until the mixture is completely smooth (microwave temps vary, so watch the chocolate and stir frequently until it's of drizzling consistency). Drizzle over the snack mixture. Then microwave the white almond bark in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth, and drizzle that over the snack mixture.  Quickly sprinkle coarse salt over all while candy drizzles are still wet.  Refrigerate until set. Break apart and store in tightly covered container.
