Caramel Snack Mix Recipe Rating 5

Instead of the usual savory cereal snack mix, this version gets just the right amount of sweetness from brown sugar and corn syrup. —Barbara Strohbehn, Gladbrook, Iowa

I made this for my sister's 40th birthday party, and it was a huge hit! My husband wanted to hide some so he would have some for later. I also swapped out some of the cereal for pretzels.

To give it a little salty taste I add a cup of pretzels and cashews and reduce the cereal by 2 cups.
