Recipe Notes

• Sometimes I will use just Rice Chex or Corn Chex instead of buying two boxes of cereal.

• Store the snack mix in an airtight container on the counter.

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.
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.
