Caramel Snack Mix

INGREDIENTS:

½ c. butter

1 c. chopped pecans

¾ c. white corn syrup

1 c. almonds

1 c. packed brown sugar

1 pkg (12 oz) crispy corn and rice cereal

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Spray a large roasting pan with non-stick cookie spray.

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, mix butter, white corn syrup and brown sugar. Place the mixture in the microwave and cook two minutes or until butter melts.

Place the cereal, pecans and almonds into the prepared roasting pan. Pour the melted butter mixture over the cereal and nuts and mix gently until the cereal and nuts are coated.

Bake one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

As the snack mix is cooking, be sure to continue to stir so that the mix will not harden in one big lump.
