Prep Time:15 min

Start to Finish:55 min

Makes:15 servings (1/2 cup each)

Be sure to use light corn syrup—the dark variety will make the snack a bit darker in color and stronger in flavor.

3 cups Corn Chex® cereal

2 cups Cheerios® cereal

1 1/2 cups Bugles® original corn snacks

1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts or 1 cup pretzels

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1.  Heat oven to 325°F. In very large bowl, mix cereals, snacks and peanuts.

2.  In 1-quart saucepan, heat corn syrup, honey and butter to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Spread in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan.*

3.  Bake 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces. Store in airtight container.

*A 13x9-inch pan can be used instead. Bake 24 minutes, stirring after 12 minutes.
