Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups cornflakes
1 1/2 cups graham cereal
1/4 cup salted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup raisins, chopped
1 stick unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mini marshmallows
8 to 10 drops green gel food coloring
Red and green mini M&M'S, for decorating

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the cereals in a bag and roughly crush into small pieces with a rolling pin. Pour into a large bowl, add the peanuts and raisins and toss.
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring, until the caramel darkens a shade and releases from the sides of the pan when stirred, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. When the caramel stops bubbling, stir in the marshmallows and food coloring. Add to the cereal mixture and stir.
