This is such an easy, quick-fix treat, and everyone loves the caramel-y, buttery taste with the salty nuts and pretzels...one of my favorite things!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter (no substitutes here, please!)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
dash of salt
3 cups rice chex cereal
2 cups thin pretzel sticks
1 cup mixed nuts (i use cashews, but use whatever you like)
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large skillet (I use my electric skillet for this, but stove top would be fine, I'm sure).
2. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
3. Cook for 1 minute, then shut off electric skillet or remove pan from burner.
4. Using a large mixing spoon or spatula (coated with butter or cooking spray first), immediately stir in cereal, pretzels and nuts.
5. Stir gently to coat well, and then spread the warm mixture on a large piece of waxed paper that you have sprayed with some cooking spray.
6. When cool, break into chunks and store in covered container.
