Don’t miss these fabulous all things apple pin boards: apple a day & Applicious Goodies!
Let’s start this apple-a-day week off with a recipe!! Munch mixes are some of my favorite tasty treats to put together … brain storming all sorts of yummy things to pick and choose and combine for the perfect bites! Plus, there is no oven to heat up and the kids can help, too!
Now, let’s mix it up and {taste this} … caramel apple munch mix
In a large bowl, combine:
2 cups apple cinnamon Chex
2 cups caramel Bugles (holy smokes are these GOOD!!)
1 cup Kraft caramel bits
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
One 2.5 oz bag of apple chips, original flavor
Stir together and munch away!!
This is all sorts of caramel-y apple-y delicious!! The Bugles and honey roasted peanuts add a smidge of salt, the apple chips and Chex are a sweet crunch and those little caramel bits just melt in your mouth! Store leftovers in an air tight container.
This would be perfect to make for a Fall festival, an afternoon hayride, an apple themed party, an apple unit for home school or pre-school, something to munch with a mug of apple cider or just because it’s finally feeling a bit like Fall!!
An apple a day … makes awesome desserts! Here are a few more of my favorites!
Apple Pie Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars
Easy Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls
No Bake Apple Pie Cheesecake Gingersnap Trifles
