Caramel Clusters

 

My addiction is caramel!! Most moms love chocolate but mine is caramel!! This is what I hide from my family! I can’t keep anything caramel in my house because the struggle is real! lol!

I could pretty much drink my salted caramel sauce. But I won’t, because I feel like I would end up in an ultra-sticky situation.

But I 100% eat it straight from a spoon. No shame in my game, friends.

Caramel Clusters

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups of Kraft Caramel Bits (or 48 unwrapped caramels)
  • 2 Tablespoons cup water
  • 6 cups Rice Chex or Crispix cereal
  • 2 cups almonds, we use almonds because other nuts hurt my husbands mouth, but please replace almonds with your favorite nut!
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  2. Pour cereal and nuts into a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. Place caramel bits and water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. (if 2 minutes doesn’t do the trick, microwave in 30-second increments until caramel bits are melted and can be stirred smooth.
  4. Pour caramel over cereal and pecans and stir gently to coat. Take care not to break the cereal.
  5. Spread onto one of the greased cookie sheets.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir and flip the cereal. Bake for another 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, place the other greased cookie sheet on top of the one you removed from the oven and flip it over.
  8. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. I do 1 minute, stir, and 30 second increments until melted.
  9. Drizzle chocolate over the cluster mixture.
  10. Let cool completely, then break apart into clusters.
  11. Store in an airtight container.
