Sweet Party Mix

Sweet Party Mix

INGREDIENTS

1 (12 ounce) package crispy corn and rice cereal
5 ounces slivered almonds
6 ounces toasted, chopped pecans
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease a large roasting pan.
In a large bowl, mix crispy corn and rice cereal, slivered almonds and toasted, chopped pecans.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and mix with dark corn syrup and light brown sugar. Pour the mixture over the crispy corn and rice cereal mixture. Stir and shake to coat all the nuts and cereal.
Pour the coated mixture into the prepared roasting pan. Stirring approximately every 15 minutes, cook 1 hour in the preheated oven. Cool on wax paper, and store in airtight containers.
Notes that I took from AllRecipes.com: I put in a half box of Corn Chex and a half box of Cheerios, subsituted walnuts for slivered almonds and I added M&M's to the mix after it cooled. It made for a great snack for our zoo trip!
