How to Make Sweet Salty Crispix Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheets with waxed paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups Crispix cereal, 3 cups mini pretzels, and 2 cups mixed nuts. Gently toss to combine. Consider using two bowls for easier mixing in the next step.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup light corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the hot syrup mixture over the cereal mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal and nuts are evenly coated.
  6. Spread the mixture in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 20-23 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Let the mix cool completely on the baking sheets before breaking it apart and storing in an airtight container.
