yummy recipe

 

I made up this Cheerio snack mix for my guys to take deer hunting.  Word on the street is it is both naughty and nice.... hmmmm, wonder if I should call it Chance Crunch?

  I am not keeping a separate blog anymore for just recipes because it is too much work.

My sister in MO sent this to a bunch of a us a couple months ago.  It is addicting. 

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup dark corn syrup

1/4 cup butter

1/2 tsp salt

6 cups Cheerios (I used honey nut)

1 cup pecan, walnuts or peanuts - I used walnuts

1/2 cup silvered almonds, sliced work fine too

1 bag of craisins

 

Preheat oven to 350. Butter jelly roll pan

Heat butter, sugars and salt in a saucepan, over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes

Mix cereal, nuts and craisins in a big bowl

Pour syrup over cereal mixture and stir to coat.

spread in pan and bake 15 minutes.  cool for 10 minutes before loosening with spatula.  Then let cool 1 hour before storing. in covered container.

Makes about 8 cups, if you are feeding an army, double it and use 2 jelly roll pans.

warning, very addictive and not low calorie, however it does have some healthy stuff in it!
