Years ago, one of those clever preschool mom's, brought this as a snack. I couldn't stay out of the little package that my twins brought home. I think the key is adding butterscotch chips and mini m&m's. I like doing this in the microwave, as opposed to those recipes where you have to bake and stir, bake and stir! Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup white syrup |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 (15 ounce) box crispix cereal |
2 cups peanuts |
1 (10 ounce) bag pretzels |
1 (16 ounce) bag miniature m&m baking bits |
1 cup butterscotch chips |
Directions:
1. Mix margarine, brown sugar, white syrup and 1/8 teaspoons salt together in a microwavable bowl.
2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Stir well.
4. Microwave on high for another 2 minutes.
5. Add 1 teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoons baking soda.
6. Stir until clear.
7. Pour crispix into brown paper bag.
8. Pour syrup mixture over all.
9. Stir well and shake brown bag.
10. Microwave 1 1/2 minutes.
11. Shake well again.
12. Microwave another 1 1/2 minutes Shake again.
13. Add peanuts and pretzels.
14. Shake again.
15. Spread onto large sheet of wax paper or large cookie sheet.
16. Cool well.
17. Add m&m's and butter scotch chips.
18. Mix together.
19. See the bowl empty before your eyes!
