Chex's Honey-Roasted Chex Mix

At our annual New Year's family party, everyone seemed to really like a new Chex Mix recipe that we tried out. I thought you might like to have a copy of it.  The picture is from the Chex website.

Honey-Roasted Chex Mix

Ingredients:

• 3 cups honey nut Chex or corn Chex cereal
• 2 cups Cheerios cereal
• 1 1/2 cups Bugles original corn snacks
• 1 cup small pretzel twists
• 1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts
• 2 Tbl. light corn syrup
• 2 Tbl. honey
• 1 Tbl. butter
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. In very large bowl, mix cereals, corn snacks, pretzels 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; stir 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-sized pieces. Store in airtight container.
4. *A 13x9-inch pan can be used instead. Bake 24 minutes, stirring after 12.

Marsha's Notes:

It says to break into bite sized pieces, but when we made it, it didn't clump up like that. We also used honey-nut Cheerios instead of the regular ones, because honey-nut seems to be the theme here.
