Although I went to six grocery stores searching for ingredients, it was worth the hunt. I never did find the Booterscotch M & M’s so I substituted the dark chocolate variety. It’s cooling right now and we are excited to munch on the mix!
My brother sugar & butter needed to be more runny.
Is there a substitute if I can’t find caramel bugles?
You can really substitute any type of crunchy snack.
Love love love your Chex cereal mixes for all seasons. Christmas crack…oh yea!
Can this be made in a slow cooker and if so, how?
