I love this recipe. I've made it for a few years now. Two things I do differently are to use parchment paper on the pans and stir carefully or the edges will burn. Also I substitute some Cheerios for some of the pretzels:)

This snack mix was easy to make and tastes good. I made the mistake of using dark non-stick pans. At the 10 minute mark a good portion of the mix had burned. Next time I make it I'll be sure to either adjust the temperature or use different pans.
