Sweet and Salty Caramel Snack Mix

Source  Our Best Bites
Recipe Added:  12/31/2011
6 cups graham cracker cereal
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
1 cup cashews or macadamia nuts
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups M&Ms (1 large bag)
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside. Toss together the cereal and the nuts in a large bowl and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes (3 if you’re at a high elevation) and then remove from heat. Add the vanilla and stir until combined. Drizzle the caramel mixture over the cereal/nut mixture and stir quickly to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. When the caramel mixture has cooled but isn’t solid yet (just a few minutes), add the Pretzel M&Ms and toss gently to combine. Allow to cool completely before serving.
