1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 cups cheerios toasted oat cereal
1 cup spanish peanut

Directions:
1. Grease one 15x10 or two 9x13 pans.
2. Put cereal, nuts, and raisins in a greased 4 quart bowl.
3. Heat first 4 ingredients in 2 quart saucepan until it begins to bubble; cook 2 minutes longer.
4. Stir in soda until foamy and pour over cereal, nuts, and raisins.
5. Stir until well coated.
6. Spread in prepared pans.
7. Bake at 250 degrees for 15 minutes.
