Honey Bunches of Oats Caramel Balls

Honey Bunches of Oats Caramel Balls on a white plate.

There isn’t a candy quite like caramel. With a sweet, chewy texture, caramels are a great alternative to the chocolate lovers out there. However, sometimes they can be a little too chewy for some people’s liking. Why not add a little texture (and crunch!) with Post Honey Bunches of Oats cereal! Use whichever Honey Bunches of Oats is your favorite to distinguish these treats from batch to batch – these will be a hit at parties!
