1/4 cup caramel sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2. In a large bowl, mix Chex cereal and mini pretzels.
3. Pour the melted chocolate-caramel mixture over the cereal and pretzels. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
4. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag or lidded container. Add powdered sugar, seal, and shake until well coated.
5. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and enjoy!

Always wait for the mixture to cool completely before storing to keep it crisp.
Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and cleanup is a breeze.
