Sweet & Salty Caramel Snack Mix
Recipe via Our Best Bites http://www.ourbestbites.com/
Recipe adapted by Our Best Bites from Southern Living
6 cups graham cracker cereal (like Honey Grahams)
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
1 cup salted cashews or macadamia nuts
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup light Karo syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups Pretzel M&Ms (about 1 large bag)
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper and lightly spray with nonstick 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 Karo 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.
