 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food And I'm here today with another quick and easy recipe for caramel apple cereal bars So you are going to need two cups of caramel a Quarter cup of milk that you're going to use to melt the caramel You're going to need dried apples. These are not the freeze dried crunchy apples. These are the dried chewy apples You're going to need a cup of them chopped up. You're going to need three quarters of a cup of peanuts I am using unsalted, but if you'd prefer salted that is fine And you're going to need six cups of check cereal I'm using rice cereal But if you'd prefer to use cinnamon checks or apple cinnamon checks or even corn checks that is totally fine So if you want to see how this quick and easy recipe comes together stay tuned All right, so I'm going to start by dropping in my cereal and My peanuts my dried apples I'm just going to stir this around and I've already microwaved my caramel I decided microwave is easier than doing it on the stove top It took me probably about three minutes to get the caramel melted So I'm just going to pour in my caramel and give it a good stir Okay, so I've got my cereal all coated make sure you really get in there and make and make sure that every piece of cereal Has caramel on it and you're going to probably break some cereal. That's totally okay. It's not going to stay completely whole so next You're going to grab your nine by 13 pan and I have mine Covered with non-stick foil if you don't have non-stick foil parchment paper Parchment paper will work or you can heavily butter the pan So all you're going to do is just pour your cereal mixture in So I've got it all in there and you're going to spread this out now a little trick I'd like to share is I like to coat my hands with Like coconut oil or butter or something like that I Just do a quick spray on my hands rub it together And then that makes it easier to spread out the cereal And you're going to try to work as fast as you can kind of like when you're making rice crispy treats You're going to want to work fast because you don't want this mixture to get cool Then just press it down the best that you can Okay, so I am going to let this cool for a couple of hours, and then I'll be back to show you how it turns out All right It's been a couple of hours since my bars have cooled off and as you can see I cut some out for you guys and They're a little bit stickier, and I don't know why I don't know if it's the humidity or what? But I've got my husband here. He's going to show you the bottom of the bar so you can see what it looks like Looks like the top of course and then he's going to break a bar apart so you guys can see the texture It's kind of a soft bar kind of like a soft rice crispy treat But it's so good you can taste the apple and the peanuts in there. It's absolutely delicious So I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did please make sure to give us a thumbs up And if you have not subscribed to our channel, we certainly love to have you Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you guys next time
