Instructions
 

  • Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients ready. You can easily find these items in your local grocery store, especially when they are readily available in the fall.

The sweetness of the candy and caramel corn combines perfectly with the salty pretzels, creating a truly unforgettable taste sensation.

Notes

  • If you need to make this recipe nut-free, replace the Reese's Pieces with M&M's and use Caramel Corn without nuts.
  • You can substitute Shreddies or Chex cereal if you can't find Chocolate Life cereal.
