(it will be foamy.). quickly pour mixture over cereal and nuts and stir until well combined. You can now use the oven or microwave. Microwave: your cereal mixture must be in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high for 1 minute; stir and repeat 4 more times. Oven: put cereal mixture on cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. bake at 250 F for 15 min. Stir and bake another 15min. For Both methods: after baking or microwaving, spread the mixture out on the counter, covered with wax paper (or parchment paper )that has been sprayed with Pam. Let cool then break into pieces.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly butter a large roasting pan.
• Mix corn and rice cereal, pecans, and almonds together in the prepared roasting pan.
• Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove saucepan from heat and stir vanilla extract into syrup.
• Drizzle syrup over cereal mixture and toss to coat.
• Bake cereal mixture in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; stir and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Spread cereal mixture in 1 layer onto 2 lightly buttered baking sheets, separating any large chunks with 2 forks; allow to cool.

Steps:

• Mix cereal, pretzels and nuts in a large bowl, set aside. You may even want to divide this up into two bowls to make the stirring easier in the next steps.
• Boil the butter, sugar, syrup, and vanilla in a saucepan for 3 minutes.
• Pour syrup mixture over the cereal and mix until well coated.
• Spread on waxed paper on baking sheets to cool.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, empty the cereal and the peanuts.
• 2. In a saucepan on the stove melt the butter, sugar, syrup and salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add the baking soda, stir, ingredients will foam and become frothy.
• 3. Pour mixture over the cereal and peanuts. Mix quickly but carefully. You don't want to smash all of the cereal.
• 4. Spread onto a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• 5. Bake at 200 degrees for one hour, turning mix over every 15 minutes. Note: The original recipe calls for baking 1 hour, I cut it down to 30 minutes the second time because we like it to still have the sweet chewy texture.
• 6. When mix has cooled, add the M&M's.
• 7. Note: Very versatile recipe! You can use dark or milk chocolate M&M's, or even try the Pretzel M&M's. I've also tossed a cup or so of pretzels into this as well.
