A yummy snack mix that is so good, you won't be able to stop munching on it!

Caramel Nut Treat Mix

1 (12-14 oz.) box Rice Chex cereal

1 cup slivered almonds

1 cup toasted, chopped pecans

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup dark corn syrup

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 250* F. Lightly grease a large roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix Rice Chex, almonds, and pecans. In a large, microwaveable bowl, combine the butter, dark corn syrup and light brown sugar. Heat in 1 minute increments until the butter is melted, stirring each time. Pour the melted mixture over the crispy corn and rice cereal mixture in the bowl and stir to mix. Pour the coated cereal mixture into the greased roasting pan. Bake @ 250* F for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes. Pour the hot mixture onto two large cookie sheets to cool, stirring to make sure it doesn’t cool in large clumps. Store in airtight containers.

**For one batch, I stirred 1/2 lb. of mini pretzels into the cereal mixture and there was still enough of the caramel coating for it all.
