This is one of those recipes my whole family loves. It is quick  to make and easy to jazz up by adding in a handful or two of M&M’s or peanuts or both.

Just like the Dirt Cake recipe I shared last week, this is a recipe that does not require you to use your oven which makes it summer season friendly in my books.

It does require that you use your microwave and a large microwave safe bowl.

It takes under 10 minutes too cool and stores well in an airtight container for several days.

    Is the cereal like “Life” cereal? I have never heard of “Cascadian Farm’s Multi Grain Squares”. Thanks for sharing! We are looking forward to making this!

      More like chex squares. I just uses Cascaidian Multi Grain because it is wheat and not corn and I find it makes a great taste mixture.

    I used to make a caramel popcorn similar to this, but I think yours sounds better. I’ll have to give it a try.
