Method
- Add 9 cups of Chex cereal to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel bits, butter, and milk. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 30-second bursts until smooth.
- Stir vanilla extract into the warm caramel mixture.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and gently stir to coat evenly.
- In a large zip-top bag, combine powdered sugar and crushed freeze-dried apple (and cinnamon if using).
- Transfer the coated cereal into the bag. Seal and shake vigorously until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated mix on parchment paper to cool. Break into bite-sized pieces once set.

Notes
For a festive twist, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Always cool the mix before storing. Freeze-dried apples work better than fresh, and smaller coating batches yield better coverage.
