Ingredients

• 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 4 1/2 cups Corn Chex cereal
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside. In a small pot, melt together the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup.
2. Boil the mixture for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Put the cereal in a large bowl. Pour the caramel over the cereal and sprinkle in 3/4 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Mix well. (Sometimes I will use just Rice Chex or Corn Chex instead of buying two boxes of cereal.)
4. Spread the mixture on a  cookie sheet. Top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 5 minutes. Remove and cool before storing in an airtight container.
