- Bagel Bites
- 1 pkg Bagel Mix
- 1 cup (250 mL) water
- ¼ cup (60 mL) butter (½ stick), melted

- When the display says, “Add Food,” place the racks into the oven and press START. Rotate the racks halfway through cooking.
- Transfer the bagel bites to the 6-qt. (6-L) Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl and add the melted butter, seasoning blend, and sugar. Place the lid on the bowl and shake to coat.

Cook's Tips:
Miso is a savory, umami paste that adds rich, salty depth to caramel, balancing its sweetness with a nutty flavor. It’s usually sold in a tub. Don’t have miso? Use ½ tsp (2 mL) of salt instead.
