These beauties are a wonderful snack, especially for kiddos. The combination of Kix cereal and the caramel candy melts makes it a nice treat. I always make them for my kid’s school parties and when the kids try them, they ask for more! As soon as they finish eating one, they’re going to go for another one. It seems like they just can’t get enough of these yummy things.
Things you will only need:
12 oz. – box of Kix cereal
45 pieces – caramel melts
2 tbsp. – unsalted butter
How to make caramel corn snacks:
Place 2 tbsp of butter into a large sauce pan.
Unwrap the caramel melts and put them into the sauce pan.
Place the sauce pan on the stove and on medium to low heat melt the caramel mixing it all the time for about 6 minutes or until it is all melted.
Remove from heat and add entire box of Kix cereal.
Mix the cereal and the caramel with a wooden spoon, scooping the melted caramel from the bottom of the pan to the top. Repeat the mixing pattern until all the cereal balls are coated with caramel. You need to work fast so the caramel doesn’t harden.
Take the coated cereal into your hands and form the corn shape.
Wrap each corn into a plastic food wrap the same patter as I am wrapping Eggrolls. Repeat this shaping and wrapping steps until the cereal is all gone. You need to work fast, because the caramel hardens fast and the corn balls will not stick together. If it hardens, just reheat it a little again just for a minute, make sure you’re mixing it or the caramel will burn.
Enjoy!!! 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing another awesome and yummy recipe that I can make together with my daughter.
Thank you, again and I love your blog!
Thank you Tanya! That encourages me to put even more delicious recipes. Thanks again!!! 🙂
I used only half of the cereal box otherwise they tasted too dry. Also, warming them up a few seconds in the microwave before eating makes a BIG difference. Yum!
Thank you for your review! 🙂
Is there a way to make these not harden SO much? It is almost impossible to eat them because they get so hard 🙁
Try not to bring caramel candy to a boiling stage while melting (that makes the caramel hard). Melt caramel candy on low heat, remove from the stove, and then mix in the cereal. I hope this helps.
Thank you
Thanks for the great recipes! Love your blog!!!
You’re certainly very welcome! Thank you for an amazing review! 🙂
