Folks can't get enough of this irresistible snack mix. A slightly sweet vanilla coating is the perfect match for the blend of mini pretzels, crispy cereal and salted nuts. It's a real crowd-pleaser. Juanita Carlsen of North Bend, Oregon Ingredients:
2 cups multi-bran chex |
2 cups corn chex |
2 cups cheerios |
2 cups miniature pretzels |
1 cup salted mixed nuts |
1/3 cup butter, cubed |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
2 to 3 teaspoons butter flavoring |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cereals, pretzels and nuts; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter flavoring and salt. Bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine vanilla and baking soda. Remove brown sugar syrup from the heat; stir in vanilla mixture (syrup will foam). Pour over cereal mixture and toss to coat.
3. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes; stir. Microwave 2-3 minutes longer; stir. Microwave at 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Cool for 3 minutes, stirring well several times. Spread onto waxed paper to cool. Yield: 8-1/2 cups.
