Sweet Crispix Mix

1 (12 oz.) box Crispix cereal
8 oz. pecan halves

1 cup small pretzels
1 cup cheese crackers (like Cheez-Its)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 cups light-brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
pinch cream of tartar

Heat oven to 300* F. Spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the cereal, pecans, mixed nuts, pretzels and cheese crackers. Set aside. In a medium-size saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the corn syrup and brown sugar. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and cream of tartar. Carefully pour hot mixture over cereal, stirring with a wooden spoon to coat all ingredients. Divide the mixture evenly over both baking sheets. Bake @ 300* F for 15 minutes, stirring twice. Let mixture cool on baking sheets and break apart. Store in plastic bags or sealed containers.
